Definition Climate ChangeDefinition‐ Climate Change
Climate Change is “change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of global atmosphere and which alters the composition of global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods.” UN Framework p pConvention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), 1992
Science (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) establishes 2 degree C benchmark by the end of century to prevent irreversible climate impactsof century to prevent irreversible climate impacts.

Impacts projected to worsen in IndiaIndia The IPCC report projected an increase in both mean and
t i it ti i th d extreme precipitation in the summer monsoon and subsequent increase in the number of monsoon break days.
Floods and droughts are likely to increase in India since there g ywill be a decline in seasonal rainfall, coupled with increase in extreme precipitation during monsoon.
In the Indo Gangetic Plains a changing climate is likely to In the Indo‐Gangetic Plains, a changing climate is likely to reduce monsoon sorghum grain yield in India by 2‐14 per cent by 2020, with worsening yields by 2050 and 2080.
It is likely that tropical cyclone‐related rainfall rates will increase with greenhouse warming. An increase in mean tropical cyclone maximum wind speed is likely although tropical cyclone maximum wind speed is likely, although increases may not occur in all tropical regions.
