remedial measures to minimize greenhouse gas emission. The average annual
temperature of India has increased approximately 0.54
C in the past century.
Indian metro-cities have significantly more days when the maximum temperature
is more than 35
C. The most important point about these data is the sharp rise in
temperature in coastal cities in comparison to towns in the hilly areas, indicating an
increased level of ocean water from climate change.
The government of India has promoted numerous steps to resolve global warming
and climate change. It has facilitated the production of renewable sources of energy
on a major scale so that the consumption of fossil fuel is minimized, reducing the
carbon load in the atmosphere. India has taken steps to fix carbon by increasing
plantation: the forest and tree cover in the country has increased from 14% in
1950–1951 to 24.01% in 2011–2012.
India has a rich diversity of socioeconomic conditions, geography, and climate;
hence, the implementation of the same policy throughout the country is always
challenging. India needs policies on a small scale (zone-wise) so that the diversity of
socioeconomic conditions, geography, and climate can be considered seriously.
Hence, it is essential that every section of society also participates to resolve these
issues and cooperates with the policy implemented by the government of India.
