India's Climate Change Policy: Obstacles and Suggestions "What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?" ― Henry David Thoreau

Abstract India's ecology and economy are facing serious problems due to the serious problem of climate change. With a rapidly growing population and expanding urbanization, India is vulnerable to a range of climate-related impacts, including water scarcity, extreme weather events, and shifting agricultural patterns. The rising temperatures have led to more frequent heatwaves, affecting public health and increasing energy demand for cooling systems. Because of the melting of the Himalayan glaciers, millions of people who rely on rivers fed by glaciers for drinking water and agriculture could soon run out of clean water. Additionally, changing monsoon patterns are disrupting farming practices and food production. It is crucial for India to implement effective adaptation strategies and mitigation measures to address these threats and build resilience against future climate risks. Collaboration with other nations on climate action is essential to ensure a sustainable future for all
