“Twenty-five years ago, people could be excused for not knowing much, or doing much about climate change. Today, we have no excuses,” Desmond Tutu, South African theologian, had said.

The recent landslides in Himachal Pradesh's Kinnaur district brought back focus on how 40 per cent of the state is geologically ‘highly sensitive’, according to a report by the Building Materials and Technology Promotion Council. The state has experienced four major natural disasters last month and as many as 202 people died over the last 90 days. 

Floods, landslides, glacial lake bursts, excess rainfall, excess snowfall and unseasonal rains will increase if the effects of climate change are not mitigated, the state’s environment department had warned.
