Climate change poses a fundamental threat to the world, natural resources, species, and livelihoods. India is particularly vulnerable to this and is likely to have varied impacts owing to its geographic diversity, stronger dependence on agriculture, and increasing exploitation of natural resources coupled with population growth and socio-economic challenges. Major efforts are required to develop low-carbon and climate-resilient lifestyles. Climate adaptation and mitigation at regional, national, and global level are crucial for a long-term response to climate change. Development Alternatives is working towards influencing climate policy to be future ready.
