5 Steps India should take to tackle Climate Change


  1. Switch from Fossils to Renewables: India ought to switch rapidly from polluting fossil fuels to cleaner renewable energy.
  2. India must invest in building much stronger coastal and inland defences against climatic damage.
  3. Economic Resilience: It also needs to do more to build resilience in the sectors of agriculture, fisheries, manufacturing, energy, transport, health, and education.
  4. Adequate Finance Allocation: The priority for spending at the national and State levels for disaster management needs to rise. Adequate resources must also be allocated for implementing climate action plans that most States have now prepared.
  5. Build Global Consensus for Action: Indeed, India should be alarmed at ecological destruction even in faraway places like Amazon. As the country that is most at risk for climate damage, it should lead in pressing the global community to take sweeping climate action.
