Changes in precipitationpatterns have had an impact on water availability and agricultural stability. Residents and infrastructure incoastal areas are vulnerable to the effects of sea level rise and extreme weather. Glacial melt in theHimalayas is having an impact on river flow, which has repercussions for water supply and electricalgeneration. Moreover, those who already face socioeconomic disadvantages are placed at even greaterdanger due to climate change. India's long-term development and prosperity depend on its ability toadapt to and mitigate these risks.
