Climate Change and Green Energy in India - A Micro Study

Abstract

Because of the sector's susceptibility, ongoing methodological advancements, and data availability, research on how climate change affects renewable energy is becoming more and more pertinent. Particular research is required for both public and private decision-making. Resources for renewable energy are crucial in the fight against climate change. However, their production, usage, and collection have an influence on the environment, and they are also impacted by climate change. One of the major concerns of the twenty-first century is climate change. It has had profound effects all around the world due to its quick escalation and steadily rising intensity. India's urban, socioeconomic, and natural landscapes have seen significant change as a result of climate change. India came in at number seven on the list of nations most impacted by extreme weather events brought on by climate change in 2019. Both the human toll—2,267 lives lost—and the economic damage—66,182 million US dollars in purchasing power parities (PPPs)—were clear indicators of this impact. Extreme weather occurrences have been much more frequent and frequent in India in recent years, putting vulnerable communities at risk. The nation was listed among the most polluted cities in the world and faced serious air pollution issues in a number of its major cities. India is now the most populated country in the world, with 1.4 billion people, or about 18% of the world's total population, and a rising rate of natural resource consumption. The current state of affairs in the nation necessitates the implementation of a number of climate mitigation techniques, including nature-based solutions, in order to lessen these effects and help India reach its goal of attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this article we will discuss the impact of climate change in India and how green energy to be effective.
