Effect of Climate Change on Indian Economy

Climate change can make weather patterns less predictable. Farmers' decisions regarding what crops to plant and when to grow them are impacted by uncertainty about monsoonal changes, which lowers productivity. Work hours are cut in industries like construction that need a lot of outside activity due to climate change. Days with severe heat or floods tend to have reduced labour productivity, which lowers industrial yields, lowers exports and lowers national income.
