Five years ago, I stepped into the climate space not as a policy expert, but as a young activist trying to make sense of the chaos unfolding around me.  South Asia’s disappearing forests, melting glaciers, and rising seas were alarming to me. I arrived full of urgency, at my first international climate meeting—the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies (SB) session in Bonn, driven by the smog I had grown up with and the seasonal floods that had started to feel less like disasters and more like routines.

The World Economic Outlook projects global growth at 3.3 percent, butbut the IMF -projection of India’s expected GDP growth at 6.,5 percent allows it to maintain the status of fastest growing major economy in FY 25-26 as well. The economic growth figures might look attractive and mislead you in to believing that the Indian economy is fine, but the risks are almost certain. One such risk is the economic cost of “climate change.” The 2022-23 RBI report suggests that up to 4.5 percent of India’s GDP could be at risk by 2030 due to extreme heat.
