Abstract

Climate Change has affected human activities directly and indirectly. There have been several causes and impacts of climate change. Due to climate change, there have been changes in the pattern of rainfall, rise in temperatures, evaporation, and salinization of sources of water due to rising sea levels. Glacial melting is increasing year by year. Climate change is due to the onservable but micro level alterations in the Earth’s orbi that are responsible for changing the amount of solar energy the planet receives. satellites orbiting around Earth and other related technological advances have given a helping hand to the scientists to be able to capture remotely sensed data so that the planet can be studied from all the angles and aspects.  Though climate change is a global concern, its effcets are being experienced all over the globe but, at varying degree. It will have negative impacts on agriculture, supply of wtaer, quality of air, coastal areas and health of people. India is the second largest country in terms of population and heavily depends on the various sectors like agriculture, fisheries, and forests which are sensitive to changes in climate. It is, therefore, bound to face the worst adverse impacts of climate change. Indirectly, climate change is disrupting global economies and is adversely affecting all forms of life, costing a lot since a long time and will continue to do so if strict actions are not taken to control the same. The present paper tries to enumerate the impacts of climate change in India.
