India is seeing a spurt in extreme weather events like frequent heat and cold waves, excessive and erratic rainfall, cloudbursts triggering floods and landslides and so on.
It is estimated that in 2024 some part of India experienced extreme weather for little under 300 days. This is almost the entire year!
Remember, Calcutta nearly drowned last month, when it was struck by a cloudburst.
Why is this happening? How can businesses and the Indian economy cope with climate risk?
To help unpack this vexing challenge StratNewsGlobal.Tech spoke to Prarthana Borah on Capital Calculus.
She is a sustainability expert, the former Country Director, CDP and at present VP Sustainability at Momentum.
