Climate change is increasingly becoming a global threat. Even after cumulative attempts by countries worldwide, the IPCC target of limiting global warming by 1.5 °C to the preindustrial level seems strenuous. There are growing concerns about climate-related risks to natural and human environments. Studies documented increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events, such as heat waves, precipitation anomalies, and other climate change-related events, causing glacier and ice melting, sea level rise, floods, droughts, and wildfires. The change in regional and global climate patterns directly and indirectly risks human life, livelihood, and sustainability, affecting agriculture, health, and the economy. It also displaced millions, creating “climate refugees.” Climate change adversaries are unequally affecting less developed regions of Asia and Africa, including India, where socioeconomic infrastructures are scarce and fragile, making them most vulnerable to these risks. However, there has been a growing application of adaptive and resilience-building strategies, a holistic approach integrating social, economic, and environmental factors. This chapter, therefore, highlights the risks of climate change in both the global and Indian national context. Further, it envisages resilience building and adaptive practices. Finally, it emphasized the need for the current volume to accumulate contemporary discussions on climate change risks and resilience, especially in India.
