Climate change is expected to hit developing countries the hardest. Its effects—higher temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, rising sea levels, and more frequent weather-related disasters—pose risks for agriculture, food, and water supplies. At stake are recent gains in the fight against poverty, hunger and disease, and the lives and livelihoods of billions of people in developing countries. Addressing climate change requires unprecedented global cooperation across borders. The World Bank Group is helping support developing countries and contributing to a global solution, while tailoring our approach to the differing needs of developing country partners. Data here cover climate systems, exposure to climate impacts, resilience, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy use. Other indicators relevant to climate change are found under other data pages, particularly Environment, Agriculture & Rural Development, Energy & Mining, Health, Infrastructure, Poverty, and Urban Development.

According to a survey published in March 2024, approximately 95 percent of respondents in India believe local climate hast at least somewhat changed over the last 10 to 20 years. In the Asia-Pacific region, the Philippines was the country were most people were worried about climate change.

India accounted for almost 20 percent of the global population in 2021, but just seven percent of global greenhouse gas emissions that year. India's contributions to historical carbon dioxide emissions are even lower, at just four percent. Overall, India is estimated to be responsible for around five percent of global warming since 1850. By comparison, the United States, which represented just four percent of the global population in 2021, is the biggest contributor to climate change, with approximately 17 percent of warming linked to the North American country since 1850.

According to a survey published in March 2024, around 48 percent of respondents in urban areas in India stated that heat waves and prolonged summers prompted them to believe the climate is changing. Moreover, 43 percent of respondents in India's rural communities stated that excessive rainfall events prompted them to believe on climate change.

The questionnaire about conducting field survey for data on farmers perception about climate change and also what strategies they adopt to mitigate climate change

As nuclear power emits less CO2 compared to other major sources of energy, the nuclear power theme ought to have played an important role in the formation of the climate change discourse in some countries. This paper focuses on the representation of the ear power in the Indian climate change discourse, a country that depends heavily on coal for energy production. How climate change has been depicted in the national press is important as discourse forms values, impacts perception, and may impact future policies toward climate change mitigation. Through analysis of The Hindu newspaper articles collected from 2013 through 2015, this study found that even though nuclear power is one of the ways to achieve carbon-free energy futures in India, the representation of nuclear power developments in the articles regarding climate change is rare. The study concluded that Indian climate change discourse is framed rather by the country’s climate change policies than by government interest to promote nuclear power.

In the scenario, that India follows its current national goals, its gross domestic product (GDP) is estimated to decline by over three percent by 2030 and over nine percent by 2050. India is especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and the effect on GDP is estimated to be worse than the global average.

According to a survey conducted by Ipsos in 2019, almost 90 percent of respondents in India stated that they made adjustments to their consumer behavior due to climate change concerns. At the same time, around six percent admitted to not making any changes to their purchasing habits.

The intensity and extent of climate change impacts differ significantly with the geographical and ecological structure of the landscape. This is especially evident in mountain ecosystems where topographic, climatic and biological gradients make them extremely vulnerable to global environmental changes . Designing strategies to mitigate and adapt to global climate change on such local landscapes requires a context-specific vulnerabilities that take into account their particular characteristics. Presently, there are two main challenges in assessing climate change vulnerability in mountain ecosystems: 1) The models that are used for vulnerability assessments at global scales are being used at local scales with broad variables from few sectors that do not capture the range of characteristics of mountain ecosystems 2) indigenous knowledge about climate change are not considered in these models, which makes the implementation of mitigation/adaptation measures less successful. In this study, we highlight these issues drawing from our data collected in India’s Lesser Himalayan region (Darjeeling). We used a mixed research approach that combines a vulnerability assessment model with a participatory knowledge approach. We based climate change vulnerability around the socio-ecological system of the mountain landscape. The results from the interactive process showed that Darjeeling region is experiencing higher climate change vulnerability than the results produced by the model at the subregional level. We highlight critical variables that influence the socio-ecological system and need to be taken into account when assessing vulnerability and future adaptation scenarios. The study offers a decision support process for policymakers to plan climate mitigation/adaptation measures and future sustainability pathways.
