explain imapct of global warming in india

India will be among the worst hit countries that may face calamities like floods and heatwaves and reduced GDP.
Human activities have already raised the global temperature by one-degree centigrade compared to the pre-industrial levels. Global warming is now likely to reach 1.5 degrees between 2030 and 2052 if it continues to rise at the current rate, the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 degrees C has warned.
The report has been prepared in response to an invitation from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) when it adopted the Paris Agreement in 2015. The report will provide key scientific inputs to government leaders when they meet in Poland in December to review the Paris Agreement.
In terms of impacts of global warming, the report notes that the world is already witnessing the consequences of one-degree global warming in the form of extreme weather events, rising sea levels and diminishing Arctic sea ice. There will be long-lasting or irreversible changes like the loss of some ecosystems if the temperature rises further.
Dr Roxy Mathew Koll, a scientist at the Pune-based Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology who was one of the reviewers of the special report, said South Asia, particularly India, Pakistan and China are hotspots in a warming world. All climate projections point out that these regions will be exposed to multiple and overlapping hazards at even 1.5 degrees rise. The impacts will include intensified droughts and water stress, heatwaves, habitat degradation and reduced crop yields.
And since India is an agricultural country , reduced crops will adversly affect India .
