Environmental think tank 'Energy, Environment and Water Council' has released the first of its kind district-level 'Climate Vulnerability Index'. 640 districts of the country have been analyzed under this, to assess their vulnerability to extreme weather events, such as cyclones, floods, heat waves, droughts etc.
The Climate Vulnerability Index has been assessed on the basis of map exposure (districts prone to extreme weather events), vulnerability (districts likely to be impacted by weather events) and adaptability (response or coping mechanism of the district).
It helps in mapping critical vulnerabilities and plan strategies to increase resilience and adapt by climate-proofing communities, economies and infrastructure. Additionally, the study also assesses the impact of combined risks of 'water-related seasonal disasters', such as floods, cyclones and droughts.
According to the report, 27 Indian states and union territories are vulnerable to extreme climate events. Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Bihar are the most vulnerable states to floods, cyclones and droughts whereas 463 of the country's 640 districts are highly vulnerable to floods, droughts and cyclones.
