Due to burning of fossil fuels and large scale industrialisation world over. The globe is experiencing change in temperatures and signs of climate change are appearing worldwide. India is no exception. More than 20 crore people in India living along the coastal areas are likely to be affected. Rise in sea level has already started creating havoc in Kendrapara district of Orissa where in number of villages are getting submerged permanently each year.
The impact of climate change are becoming real and the irony is that the people who are going to be affected are least aware of what is in store for them. Even in cities like Mumbai, the number of people who are aware of the impact of climate change on their life and their livelihood is minimal.The Government and the NGO's need to educate people who are living in such areas about what can happen due to climate change and find a way out for the people who are going to be affected.
