The negative impact of climate change may or may not be felt in the geographical location where historically emission has taken place in large quantities &lt;em&gt;(on a cumulative basis)&lt;/em&gt;. However, climate catastrophes may be felt by a totally different region or country, which was not responsible for excessive GHG emissions in the past. That is why joint effort&amp;nbsp;by all governments of the world and other social and economic players is essential to cut back GHG emissions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Extreme weather events, among other things, include cyclonic storms, melting of glaciers, extreme changes in temperature, floods caused by excessive rainfall, and fluctuations in rainfall in comparison to the normal trend. Data compiled in the newly released &lt;a href=&quot;https://im4change.org/upload/files/Extreme%20Events%20and%20Disasters.pdf&quot;&gt;EnviStats India 2022&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Extreme%20Events%20and%20Disasters.pdf&quot;&gt;report&lt;/a&gt; by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) indicates that the decade of 2011-2020 witnessed the highest number of cyclonic storms that formed over the North Indian Ocean in comparison to the previous decades. Please have a look at graph-1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

The negative impact of climate change may or may not be felt in the geographical location where historically emission has taken place in large quantities &lt;em&gt;(on a cumulative basis)&lt;/em&gt;. However, climate catastrophes may be felt by a totally different region or country, which was not responsible for excessive GHG emissions in the past. That is why joint effort&amp;nbsp;by all governments of the world and other social and economic players is essential to cut back GHG emissions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Extreme weather events, among other things, include cyclonic storms, melting of glaciers, extreme changes in temperature, floods caused by excessive rainfall, and fluctuations in rainfall in comparison to the normal trend. Data compiled in the newly released &lt;a href=&quot;https://im4change.org/upload/files/Extreme%20Events%20and%20Disasters.pdf&quot;&gt;EnviStats India 2022&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Extreme%20Events%20and%20Disasters.pdf&quot;&gt;report&lt;/a&gt; by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) indicates that the decade of 2011-2020 witnessed the highest number of cyclonic storms that formed over the North Indian Ocean in comparison to the previous decades. Please have a look at graph-1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

The negative impact of climate change may or may not be felt in the geographical location where historically emission has taken place in large quantities &lt;em&gt;(on a cumulative basis)&lt;/em&gt;. However, climate catastrophes may be felt by a totally different region or country, which was not responsible for excessive GHG emissions in the past.

The negative impact of climate change may or may not be felt in the geographical location where historically emission has taken place in large quantities &lt;em&gt;(on a cumulative basis)&lt;/em&gt;. However, climate catastrophes may be felt by a totally different region or country, which was not responsible for excessive GHG emissions in the past. That is why joint effort&amp;nbsp;by all governments of the world and other social and economic players is essential to cut back GHG emissions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Extreme weather events, among other things, include cyclonic storms, melting of glaciers, extreme changes in temperature, floods caused by excessive rainfall, and fluctuations in rainfall in comparison to the normal trend. Data compiled in the newly released &lt;a href=&quot;https://im4change.org/upload/files/Extreme%20Events%20and%20Disasters.pdf&quot;&gt;EnviStats India 2022&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Extreme%20Events%20and%20Disasters.pdf&quot;&gt;report&lt;/a&gt; by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) indicates that the decade of 2011-2020 witnessed the highest number of cyclonic storms that formed over the North Indian Ocean in comparison to the previous decades. Please have a look at graph-1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

The negative impact of climate change may or may not be felt in the geographical location where historically emission has taken place in large quantities &lt;em&gt;(on a cumulative basis)&lt;/em&gt;. However, climate catastrophes may be felt by a totally different region or country, which was not responsible for excessive GHG emissions in the past. That is why joint effort&amp;nbsp;by all governments of the world and other social and economic players is essential to cut back GHG emissions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Extreme weather events, among other things, include cyclonic storms, melting of glaciers, extreme changes in temperature, floods caused by excessive rainfall, and fluctuations in rainfall in comparison to the normal trend. Data compiled in the newly released &lt;a href=&quot;https://im4change.org/upload/files/Extreme%20Events%20and%20Disasters.pdf&quot;&gt;EnviStats India 2022&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Extreme%20Events%20and%20Disasters.pdf&quot;&gt;report&lt;/a&gt; by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) indicates that the decade of 2011-2020 witnessed the highest number of cyclonic storms that formed over the North Indian Ocean in comparison to the previous decades. Please have a look at graph-1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Climate change induced extreme events are playing havoc with human lives & livelihoods, show latest available data

It is evident from various studies (please click here, here and here to access) that emission of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) by the developed as well as the developing countries is responsible for climate change, thus causing extreme weather events to occur, with much more ferocity than in the past. The negative impact of climate change may or may not be felt in the geographical location where historically emission has taken place in large quantities (on a cumulative basis). However, climate catastrophes may be felt by a totally different region or country, which was not responsible for excessive GHG emissions in the past. That is why joint effort by all governments of the world and other social and economic players is essential to cut back GHG emissions. Extreme weather events, among other things, include cyclonic storms, melting of glaciers, extreme changes in temperature, floods caused by excessive rainfall, and fluctuations in rainfall in comparison to the normal trend. Data compiled in the newly released EnviStats India 2022 report by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) indicates that the decade of 2011-2020 witnessed the highest number of cyclonic storms that formed over the North Indian Ocean in comparison to the previous decades.
