4. How does climate change impact us? Also explain the role of National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC)
in combating climate change.
Ans. Adapting to climate change is crucial as global warming continues to impact ecosystems, weather patterns,
and agriculture. Even with efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, past environmental damage has already
altered the climate. To survive in these changing conditions, people must develop strategies such as cultivating
drought-resistant crops, implementing water conservation techniques, and improving disaster preparedness.
The Government of India's National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC), launched in 2008, outlines eight
missions focused on renewable energy, water conservation, sustainable agriculture, and ecosystem protection.
By investing in climate-resilient infrastructure, promoting sustainable practices, and enhancing public awareness,
societies can better adapt to the challenges posed by climate change and ensure long-term environmental stability..
