Climate change is already impacting our world, but many leaders and citizens act like it’s not happening. This is because climate change feels slow and distant compared to immediate issues like jobs or healthcare. It’s hard for people to get urgent about something that feels far away, even if it’s really important.
Money and politics also play a big role. Big companies, especially those in the fossil fuel industry, have a lot of power and don’t want strict regulations that would hurt their profits and politicians often focus on short-term gains to get re-elected, so long-term problems like climate change get pushed aside. There’s also a lot of misinformation out there, making it confusing for people to know what’s true. Plus, it’s scary to think about the huge changes we need to make, so sometimes people just ignore the problem because it feels overwhelming.

Changing climate and weather conditions refer to long-term shifts in temperature and weather patterns. India experiences a subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters, influenced by its geographical diversity and the Himalayan mountains.
Extreme heat waves in India are worsened by urbanization, which creates heat islands in cities, and deforestation, which reduces cooling from trees. Natural climate cycles like El Niño can also intensify heat waves by altering ocean temperatures and weather patterns.
India’s response includes urban planning for heat resilience, promoting green spaces in cities, and adopting renewable energy to mitigate climate impacts. These steps aim to protect vulnerable populations from the severe effects of prolonged heat waves, ensuring a more sustainable future amidst changing climatic conditions.
