India Climate Decode

Introducing India Climate Decode, a monthly commentary that connects the dots between rising extreme weather events and their cascading impacts across India’s socio-economic landscape. As heatwaves intensify, rainfall turns erratic, and climate shocks grow more frequent, their effects are no longer confined to the environment; they are reshaping agriculture, labour productivity, public health, urban infrastructure, and economic stability.

Each edition will break down these complex linkages, while also spotlighting solutions for adaptation and mitigation from policy responses and local innovations to resilience. The aim is to offer sharp insights into how climate change is influencing policy, markets, and everyday life and why it must now be seen as a core development challenge, not just an environmental one.
