India is all set to submit the
second biennial update report (BUR) to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which takes stock of India’s
action to tackle climate change and notes that India is on track to
achieve the major milestones promised.
The first BUR
report was submitted in December 2015. The draft of the second BUR
reveals that India over 5,800 people and thousands of animals died
across India during 2014-17 due to extreme weather events whose
frequency is rising due to climate change.
The draft
report enumerates impact of climate change on pattern of India’s
rainfall, and temperature while expressing concerns about India’s
climate-sensitive sectors like agriculture and forestry for livelihood.
