India’s Economy Battles a Silent Enemy as it Wipes Billions off the GDP | Vantage with Palki Sharma

A silent enemy is inflicting losses worth billions on India’s economy. In 2022, India lost 8% of its GDP due to climate change. In a significant ruling, India’s Supreme Court has delivered a landmark judgement pertaining to climate change. The top court has ruled that the right against climate change is a distinct fundamental right. This judgement comes as India combats extreme climatic conditions, with a severe heatwave sweeping across the nation. While the Apex court has asserted that the rights to life and equality are intricately linked to a stable environment, the challenges associated with climate change are bleeding India’s economy. Palki Sharma explains the significance of this judgment.
