Survey highlights gap between climate emergency perception, action in India

-Down to Earth

73% Indians are optimistic about avoiding climate crisis in their lifetime according to a survey by Epson; 4.1% don’t believe there is a climate emergency

There is a big gap in perception among Indians of the scale and immediacy of the climate emergency on one hand and the actions to tackle the same on the other, a recent survey conducted by global technology leader, Epson, has shown.

Down To Earth has been at the forefront of covering the climate crisis in India and the Global South. Over the last few years, we have reported on how rising global temperatures have caused changes in weather systems across south Asia.

The most visible change has been in the June-September southwest monsoon. We have shown how the monsoon is now withdrawing after its usual date. The frequency of cyclones, especially on India’s west coast, has increased.

There is more rainfall in a relatively short period of time. All this has wrought havoc on farmers. At the same time, there has been an increase in droughts, followed by floods. There have also been more forest fires, as well as locust attacks. Winters have shortened and summers have become longer.
