THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY IN INDIA AND ITS ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS

Climate change has emerged as one of the most pressing global challenges, significantly affecting agricultural productivity. In India, where agriculture plays a critical role in the economy and provides livelihoods to a large segment of the population, the impact of climate change is particularly profound. This paper examines the effects of climate change on agricultural productivity in India and its broader economic implications. It explores key factors such as temperature variations, changes in precipitation patterns, and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events. The study also highlights potential adaptation strategies to mitigate the economic risks posed by climate change on the agricultural sector.
