INTRODUCTION
1. Good morning everyone,
2. The topic of today’s group discussion is quite of concern for our mother Earth, it is “Impacts of Climate change on Indian Economy.”
3. Climate change has been a major concern due to increasing change in temperature and unpredictable monsoon rainfall, which has also led to adverse impact on India’s current GDP, and even depressing the living standards of quite a major population.
4. According to me, climate change has disrupted the natural, social and economic system of our country in multiple ways.
5. Now I would to open the house for discussion.
Body
1. India is a land of agriculture, the climate change makes the weather conditions unpredictable and thus farmers fail to predict which crops to plant, resulting in uncertain monsoon changes which ultimately leads to lower productivity.
2. Climate conditions can even lead to scarcity of food, which ultimately affects low income groups, as the prices of food get increased.
3. Global warminghas been a big cause, which leads to huge climate strains, leading to the melting of glaciers more and more quickly. This leads to earlier snowmelt and diminishing glaciers
4. Even climate change has severe impact on livestock, heat stress reduces feed and fodder, and thus lives of animal stock is at risk.
5. Infrastructure is also at huge risk due to increased extremes of natural disasters brought on by the climate change, approximately 10% of the global economic loss was met by India due to economic damage caused by floods in the last decade.
6. The unpredictable seasonal variability has caused Himalayan glaciers to melt more and more quickly, thus leading to overflowing rivers into heavy floods or even dry rivers leading to water scarcity.
7. Burning fossil fuels results in green house gas emissions that traps sun’s heat and leads to increase in temperatures on Earth.
