Dear readers,
Floods in Assam and Bangladesh are affecting millions of people.
Every seventh Assamese is now a flood-victim, with 4.2 million people affected by floods across the state.
It will take Assam 943 years to protect itself from floods at current pace of adaptation measures.
For India as a whole, 23,700,000 people were forced out of their homes in 2021 due to climate change, according to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre.
The southwest monsoon has entered the country, but the initial rainfall figures have become a source of trouble for farmers.
At the UN climate conference in Bonn this month, discussions on the issue of ‘loss and damage’ were unproductive.
Our upcoming online training will be held from July 25 to August 5, titled An Introduction to Climate
Change: Science, Politics and Impacts. You can register here.
