She explained that the rising threat is already driving loss of biodiversity across forests and wildlife habitats. She added that water stress is worsening in many river basins and rural areas as a direct result of changing climate patterns. She warned that land degradation, including soil erosion and reduced fertility, is accelerating under the same pressures. Murmu emphasized that tackling these intertwined problems will require a well‑structured framework of policies that coordinate across ministries and levels of government. She called for clear action plans, strong regulatory measures and sustained investment to protect ecosystems and secure water and food supplies for the future.
ExplainerWhy this matters
What Happened
President Droupadi Murmu said on Sunday that climate change is a complex problem causing biodiversity loss, water stress and land degradation in India.
Why It Matters
Loss of biodiversity reduces the ability of ecosystems to provide food, clean air and water. Growing water stress threatens drinking supplies and agriculture, especially in river‑dependent regions. Land degradation lowers soil fertility, making farming harder and increasing the risk of famine. Together these impacts hurt livelihoods, health and the economy.
What Happens Next
Murmu’s call for a well‑structured policy framework means the government will need to create coordinated plans across ministries, set stronger environmental regulations and allocate funds for climate‑resilient projects. Watch for new policy drafts, budget allocations for green infrastructure, and possible collaborations with states and NGOs aimed at protecting forests, improving water management and restoring degraded land.
