Currently countries
across the world have been witnessing frequent occurrences of natural
calamities such as cyclones, thunderstorms, cloudbursts, tsunamis, earth
quakes, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, droughts, diseases etc. They cause
huge loss of human lives and economy which is estimated as 2% of world GDP as
per World Bank’s report. The impact would be more disastrous for developing
countries including India more particularly the Himalayan states and Coastal
states.
“The scientific research
proves that the frequent occurrences of them are the outcome of the ‘Global Warming (GW)’ and
resultant ‘Climate Change. Unless
remedial measures are taken in time, the frequency of calamities would rise and
the impact would be more disastrous in future across the world” said Dr. K .D. Gupta
Chairman Assocham Committee on Climate Change in a meeting at Marwah Studios,
film city Noida.
