Derailment and Wrath of Climate in India

Abstract

India has the climate of Tropical monsoon climate due to its peculiar position in the Asian continent and the Indian Ocean. The review paper aims to discuss the impediments and indignation of the indian climate. India's climate is primarily a tropical monsoon climate characterised by distinct wet and dry seasons. This type of climate is found profusely in South and Southeast Asia. While the monsoon is the dominant feature, India's climate varies significantly across the country owing to its large size and diverse topography. In 2025, India is experiencing a stark demonstration of climate change's grip, with a year marked by record-breaking heat, water shortages and intensified extreme weather events.  India is highly vulnerable to climate change, and its impacts are widespread, affecting the environment, economy, and society. The factors influencing climate change include floods, droughts, as well as cyclonic storms occurring too often and rising temperatures, while changing weather patterns. The present paper thoroughly appraises the reasons for climate change, the impact of climate change and the way forward to reduce the impact of climate change. It is suggested that India has to cope with these changes while also working for adaptation within its economic systems and infrastructure. Overall, India is facing a complex and challenging climate crisis in 2025, with a need for both short-term adaptation measures and long-term mitigation strategies to address the root causes of climate change. Action is required immediately and over time towards saving humans and biodiversity from the climate crisis.
