India is the seventh most vulnerable country to the effects of climate change, with its marginalized communities being the most at risk, according to the Global Climate Risk Index 2021.
Even though climate change is a global concern, not everyone will be uniformly impacted.
Women, children, marginalized communities, working class, urban poor, disabled people, among others, are more vulnerable to climate change due to dependency on daily wages, limited access to infrastructure and basic utilities such as sanitation, water supply, and healthcare, and these factors, coupled with their limited representation in public decision-making, jeopardize their capacity to endure and recover from disasters of varying scales successfully.
"These factors, coupled with their limited representation in public decision-making, jeopardize their capacity to endure and recover from disasters of varying scales successfully," the Global Climate Risk Index states.
Women are expected to bear a disproportionate share of the burden of climate change because of the social, political, and economic marginalization they experience from systems and structures, Time reports.
In India, nearly five million people were internally displaced in 2021 due to climate change and disasters, per the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
Another 45 million people are estimated to be forced to migrate by 2050 due to climate disasters.
