The significance of rural-urban migration will rise in future as agriculture-dependent livelihoods come under increasing climatic stress The World Bank recently released an important report on climate change-induced migration, titled ‘Groundswell: Preparing for Internal Climate Migration’. It covers three major regions of the world comprising Sub Saharan Africa (SSA), South …
East India is the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change owing to its geographical and ecological diversity even though this region is least contributor in global warming. Stating this here on Sunday, Union Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change Dr Harsh Vardhan reiterated India’s commitments at the …
At least 4,500 people have been affected by the climate change-induced decline, estimated at about 65 per cent. The production of Oku White Honey has dropped by 65 per cent, according to the Cameroon Gender and Environment Watch (CAMGEW) non-profit conservation organization.
