Climate impacts will be felt, According to the analysis, falls in rice and wheat production in India might result in economic losses of up to 81 billion euros and a 15% reduction in farmer income by 2050.
Climate impacts would “rip through G20 countries” and will play out in the world’s greatest economies, according to a new analysis from the Euro-Mediterranean Center for Climate Change (CMCC), the primary Italian research center on climate change and National Focal Point for the IPCC.
The G20 Climate Impacts Atlas, the first of its kind, compiled scientific projections and concluded. That rising temperatures and intense heatwaves could cause severe droughts. Jeopardizing essential water supplies for agriculture, resulting in massive human deaths, and increasing the risk of deadly fires.
According to the analysis, falls in rice and wheat production in India might result in. Economic losses of up to 81 billion euros and a 15% reduction in farmer income by 2050.
For instance, By 2036-2065, heatwaves in India will endure. 25 times longer if emissions are high (4°C), over five times. Longer if global temperature rise is limited.
Even assuming adequate water and nutrient supplies, ignoring the impact of climate change on pests and diseases, as well as extreme events such as floods and storms, and accounting for the strong effect
Agricultural droughts will also become 48 percent more often by 2036-2065 on a path to 4°C global warming. On a 2°C track (the maximum temperature agreed upon by the Paris Agreement), agricultural drought will become. 20% more common, while on a 1.5°C pathway (the Paris Agreement‘s aspirational objective), agricultural drought will become 13% more frequent.
If emissions are modest, fish capture could drop 8.8% by 2050, but if they are high, it could drop 17.1%.
If emissions remain high, nearly 18 million Indians, compared to 1.3 million currently, might face river floods by 2050.
