Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial production increase greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to global warming. India faces climate-related challenges including heatwaves, irregular rainfall, floods, and rising sea levels.
Addressing climate change requires renewable energy adoption, improved energy efficiency, forest conservation, and sustainable agricultural practices. Aspirants should study concepts such as carbon emissions, climate adaptation, and international climate agreements, particularly the Paris Agreement.
