Climate Change Vulnerability in Agriculture Sector: Indexing and Mapping of Four Southern Indian States

Assessing vulnerability of agriculture in the face of climate change (Case Study: Gilan Province)

Abstract Climate change in one area has severe impacts on water resources and, consequently, agriculture in that area. Therefore, studying the extent of the vulnerability of regions to adopting policies to reduce or adapt to new conditions is of particular importance. One of the methods for assessing the extent of damage to agricultural activities is the calculation of the vulnerability inde...

Climate Change: Implications for Indian Agriculture

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has projected that the global mean surface temperature will rise by 2.0 4.5oC by 2100 due to increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. Climate variability is also projected to increase, leading to uncertain onsets of monsoons and more frequent extremes of weather, such as more severe droughts and floods. These environmental changes...

Vulnerability of Indian Agriculture to Climate Change: A Study of the Himalayan Region State

Climate variability and changes are the emerging challenges for Indian agriculture with the growing population to ensure national food security. A study was conducted to assess the Climatic Change effects in medium to low altitude areas of the Himalayan region causing changes in land use and cereal crop productivity with the various climatic parameters. The rainfall and temperature changes from...

The Impact of Climate Change on Indian Agriculture

This paper estimates the economic impact of climate change on Indian agriculture. I estimate the e¤ect of random year-to-year variation in weather on agricultural output using a 40-year district-level panel data set covering over 200 Indian districts. These panel estimates incorporate farmers’within-year adaptations to annual weather shocks. I argue that these estimates, derived from short-run ...
