How climate change actions are impacting on agricultural productivity in India
This week diplomats, leaders and civil society are meeting in Bonn, Germany for another round of climate talks. India has already made its mark – with the country's chief negotiator, Ravi Shankar Prasad intervening on the first day when he remarked that if (rich) nations don't follow the decisions taken in the previous COPs, what confidence do developing countries have that the decisions taken in this COP23 would be honoured. India knows all too well the effects of changing climates and has been pegged as a frontline state in the fight against it. Climate change has heavily impacted numerous sectors such as agriculture, water resources, forestry, and energy. Whilst no one is immune to climate change, its repercussions hit the poor harder than anyone else.
