Granted I only visit India about once a year but that was not the impression I got at all. Climate change is discussed in the media (English and non-English). India is already suffering from many of the effects; heat waves, drought and water shortages and much of the general public and leadership seemingly agree on the cause. I was actually pleasantly surprised how seriously it's taken there compared to the US.
- tn13 10y agoClimate change is not a political issue in India. American government and organizations are pumping a lot of money into India over climate related issues. Clearly as a result of that you will see ivory tower intellectuals writing in op-eds. Indian public policy however does not see climate change as an issue unless it is about stopping some project for political or financial gains.
