India Ranks 7th in Global Climate Risk Index 2021 published by the Bonn-based environmental think tank Germanwatch. According to the Index, floods caused by heavy rain in 2019 took 1,800 lives across 14 states in India and displaced 1.8 million people. Overall, the intense monsoon season affected 11.8 million people, with the economic damage estimated to be $10 billion.

India is also home to 21 of the world’s 30 most polluted cities, with 122 non-attainment cities exceeding national ambient air quality standards. Besides affecting the health of the citizens, air pollution also impacts agriculture, climate, buildings, and aesthetics, in terms of visibility.
