India's agricultural sector faces threats from extreme heat

Increasing temperatures and the higher frequency of heatwaves are negatively impacting livestock health, crop harvests, and the livelihoods of rural populations throughout India.

To combat this, there is an urgent requirement for climate-adaptive agricultural techniques, improved irrigation management, and more robust assistance programs for farming communities at risk.
