Climate change refers to the long term changes in the Earth’s climate especially a change in the average weather conditions or in the distribution of weather patterns over a significant period of time (decades to millions of years) which can be caused by various factors including variations in solar radiation, volcanic eruptions and human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and water vapor.
Long term consequences of Climate change –
- Rising sea levels due to climate change will cause catastrophic coastal flooding, erosion, saltwater intrusion, displacement of millions, loss of infrastructure and destruction of ecosystems, habitats and livelihoods worldwide.
- Climate driven extreme weather events will intensify by causing devastating heat waves, droughts, floods and storms, leading to loss of life, displacement, food insecurity, economic disruption and infrastructure destruction globally.
- Coral bleaching due to climate change causes devastating consequences by habitat loss for marine life, fishery decline, reduced shoreline protection, decreased tourism,l and economic losses, threatening reef ecosystems’ very existence.
- Fuels human migration and conflict by displacing millions, straining resources and sparking social unrest, as drought, sea level rise, and scarcity of food and water escalate tensions.
- Imperils food and water security by causing crop failures, reduced yields, changed growing seasons, water scarcity and increased food prices, threatening global stability and human well being.
Climate change demands urgent collective action as its devastating impacts on ecosystems, economies and human well being intensify, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices, renewable energy and global cooperation.

Poverty in India means when one is not able to afford two square meals in a day or when one household is not able to meet the minimum basic requirements and find difficulty to survive. To decide whether one is in poverty or not government has decided that if the family’s income is less than the Rs. 6,400/- in Rural areas and less than Rs.11,850/- in Urban areas than that family will come under the BPL Category. India is the world’s second most populated country and in a place where jobs are less but workers are more one can understand very well why is their poverty.
Government has taken several steps to reduce poverty. Some of the steps are
Ration shops are opened for Below poverty line [BPL] people where they get necessities like wheat,rice,atta and sugar at very low prices.
Another reason is lack of education and knowledge among people. In simple words one can say that people dont have knowledge about family planning. Like in India there is a common concept that every couple will have two kids irrespective of their income and also some people tend to have more and more kids as they think more people means more earners but they forget it also means more bellies to be filled.
Some key steps taken by the Indian government to resolve the dynamic nature of poverty are:
According to the reports, government alone cant do anything to reduce poverty. It also needs people support and contribution for the same.
