Impacts of climate change:
by Increasing salinity and acidification of ocean
by coral bleaching
by weathering of AMOC
by Extreme weather event in land
by Worst drought in Somalia
by Floods in Pakistan
by Reduced biological activities due deciduous animals
by degradation and desertification (UNCCD–28 ft. wooded land)
by Impact on plant health
by reduced mineral availability due to runoff.
Mitigation Strategies:
by Renewable energy transition
by Precision agriculture, organic and natural farming (PM PKY)
by e1 CAMPA & MGNREGA fund.
by Amrit Udyapan Scheme in Budget 2023-24
Adaptation Strategies:
by for increased events like floods, droughts due Hostels, drought vat [illegible]
by COP+t (loss and damage) fund and clamour funed
by COPIC of UNCCD - loss 200 by 2030.
