Extreme weather events destroying our economy in a big way, indicates official data
Published on Oct 14, 2019
Modified on May 14, 2021
Sporadic natural events like floods and droughts have made headlines in recent times. An official report, which was released in April this year, among other things, shows that extreme weather events have taken a huge toll on both human and cattle lives, personal property and crops grown by farmers and farm workers.
A chapter on extreme weather events and natural disasters in the report entitled EnviStats India 2019, Vol. I:Environment Statistics reveals that more than 2,100 Indians died every year because of extreme natural events between 2001-02 and 2018-19. Almost 14.8 lakh cattle lives were lost and roughly 2.3 crore houses/ huts were damaged owing to extreme natural events in the last 18 years. On an average nearly 37 lakh hectare of cropped area got affected each year by such events during that span. Please check table-1 for details.

Table-2 indicates that the total number of deaths due to extreme natural events was 25,066 in 2010, 23,690 in 2011, 22,960 in 2012, 22,759 in 2013, 20,201 in 2014 and 10,510 in 2015. Latest available data shows that lightning was responsible for almost a quarter (viz. 2,641 deaths) of all deaths caused by extreme natural events in 2015, whereas 29.6 percent of such deaths were caused by 'other natural causes' in the same year. Floods, exposure to cold and heat stroke caused 8.0 percent, 10.9 percent and 18.2 percent of all deaths that occurred due to extreme natural events in the year 2015.
