IPCC Report on Climate Change: Severe heat in Ahmedabad, threat of floods in Mumbai, decrease in agricultural production will make people crave for food

Climate change is going to have a very bad effect on all of us in the next few years. Recently, a new report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of the United Nations (UN) has been released, in which this emphasis has been emphasized.

According to the report, there is going to be a massive reduction in agricultural production in India due to climate change. Along with this, the risk of floods and storms will increase in the coastal areas. Heat and heat wave are also set to increase in the country.

India’s northern and coastal areas in trouble

According to the report, by 2050, about 35 million population of the country will face coastal floods.

Professor Anjal Prakash, who is involved in the preparation of the IPCC report, says that by the year 2050, 877 million population of India will be in cities. This is double as compared to the year 2020. Due to this, dangerous form of climate change will be seen in these places.

In big cities like Ahmedabad, Chennai, Lucknow, Patna and Bhubaneshwar, the temperature will start increasing excessively. There will be a danger of severe heat and heat here. The report said that if carbon emissions are not cut now, the northern and coastal areas of the country will be in trouble.

India has a coastline of 7,500 km. Due to rising sea level in areas like Mumbai, Goa, Odisha, there will be a risk of floods and cyclonic storms. By the year 2050, about 35 crore population of the country will face coastal floods.

agricultural production will decrease

Agricultural production will be low across Asia including India.

It has been estimated in the IPCC report that due to increase in temperature by 1-4 degree Celsius in India, rice production may decrease by 10 to 30 percent, while maize production may decrease by 25 to 70 percent. Agricultural production will be low in small island countries across Asia, Africa, Central and South America and the Arctic region, including India.

Technology is not a boon

According to the IPCC report, scientists have developed many such techniques that are increasing the place of reduction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Some machines remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They were created to reduce carbon emissions, but now it has come to the fore that they have the opposite effect on the environment.

40% of the world’s population is at risk

According to the report, 40% of the world’s population is at risk of the ill effects of climate change.

According to the report, 40% of the world’s population is at risk of the ill effects of climate change. From the ice of Greenland to the coral reef of the sea, everything is being destroyed due to global warming. This is happening at a much faster rate than the IPCC has previously estimated.
