Climate change has emerged as one of the most critical environmental challenges of the twenty- first century, with its adverse impacts becoming increasingly evident across the globe. India, like many other countries, is also experiencing the serious consequences of climate change. At present, climate change represents one of the most pressing issues confronting global society and has become a priority concern for policymakers, scientists, and communities alike. The primary driver of climate change is global warming, which is largely caused by the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat and lead to a continuous rise in the Earth’s average temperature, thereby causing widespread environmental degradation. Meteorological studies suggest that climate change may result in more frequent and intense extreme weather events. Rapid melting of glaciers, for instance, can lead to floods and other related hazards. Climate change also poses a significant threat to forest ecosystems. Rising temperatures and altered rainfall patterns are changing the environmental conditions required for tree growth, potentially transforming dense forest areas into semi-arid or desert-like regions in the future. Rapid urbanization, industrialization, deforestation, and the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides are further intensifying the risks associated with climate change. The study emphasizes that only through the adoption of strong, well-defined, and effective policies can the human- induced threats of climate change be significantly reduced.
