Climate change could lead to increased demand for water in agriculture, which may force Indian farmers to use more groundwater for irrigation. This could worsen the already critical groundwater depletion problem in India, a hotspot for groundwater loss.

The 'heat pandemic' is not just limited to India. As global warming progresses, regions with hot climates around the world face increased vulnerability to overheating in homes due to poorly designed structures.

The consequences of climate change can be seen today in Europe, where heat waves are getting longer and more intense. But it's not just happening there. Every decade since 1980 is hotter than the last.
