As per Nature Reviews Earth & Environment research, the flow of digital info through fiber-optic cables lining the sea floor could be compromised by #ClimateChange. This could cause huge damage to govts & banks whose operations rely on safe & secure flow of digital info.
As per a NASA report, nearly 1,156 forest fires were reported from #India between 13 & 20 February 2023. Not only does this lead to loss of forest tract but it also releases a significant amount of carbon dioxide exacerbating #ClimateChange.

According to a report by McKinsey & Company, #ClimateChange could reduce arable land & crop yields, impacting livelihoods of up to 80% of smallholder farmers in #India. This could have far-reaching consequences for our food security & global food supply chains. #ClimateActionNow
A recent study by Nature Communications revealed that 3 million #Indians reside in the #Himalayas areas. These are vulnerable to glacial lake outburst floods from #ClimateChange. Better disaster preparedness & climate adaptation measures in the region are the need of the hour.
The divide between rich & poor is heightened by the impacts of #ClimateChange, with marginalized communities facing disproportionate consequences. Bridging this gap through #ClimateAction is crucial for creating a more just & equitable world. #WorldDayOfSocialJustice
As per a paper published in National Library of Medicine, there is a link between increased trachoma infection and high temperatures and low rainfall – both of which are exacerbated by #ClimateChange putting our eyes at risk. #ClimateActionNow
This video was released on the occasion of CAG's National Conference on Air Pollution and Climate Change. #AirPollution & #ClimateChange are two sides of the same coin - each one feeds and stokes the other. Unless we take urgent action to curtail air pollution at source, the Paris Agreement targets will be a mere pipe dream.
The Gul Toor Blossom, once a symbol of joy in #Kashmir, now serves as a warning of environmental distress. The changing flowering patterns of the plant could result in a plant-pollinator mis-match. Global warming disrupts the mutualism between plant and pollinator, a risk that could potentially affect 9.5% of global food production.
As per a study by Jyoti Mishra and UC San Diego News where the link between #ClimateChange & cognitive functioning of human brain was researched, it was found that people exposed to fires have difficulty processing distractions & are compensating by exerting more effort. #MentalHealthMatters
