Risk of coastal drowning due to rising temperatures - Decision in the cabinet meeting to take immediate measures
MUMBAI: Global warming is expected to submerge 12 urban coasts, including Mumbai in India. The decision to take global measures to prevent this was taken at the cabinet meeting.
The meeting was chaired by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. In it, the Department of Environment and Climate Change presented a report on climate change submitted by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to the State Cabinet.
It was decided to set up a State Climate Change Council under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and co-chairmanship of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.
Action will be taken in the state in accordance with the 5Rs (Reduce, Refuse, Reuse, Recycle, Recover) declared by the United Nations to reduce the severity of the serious consequences mentioned in this report.
Maharashtra is a tropical region. If the temperature rises by 2 to 2.5 degrees Celsius, the coastal areas of the state will be submerged. Also, severe drought and deforestation may occur in Central Maharashtra. Coasts in 12 Indian cities are at risk of flooding.
Apart from this, urban hit island effect, landslides can also have consequences. It was submitted to the Cabinet that there should be a time bound action plan of the state for climate change and for this it should include all the ministers concerned with climate change.
What is Assessment Report 6 (AR6)?
Every few years, the IPCC publishes a report on climate change. So far 6 such reports have been published and many scientists from all over the world contribute to these reports.
Report at a glance
According to a recently published report, our Earth's temperature has risen by 1.1 ° C over the industrial period. The result is frequent hurricanes, increasing landslides, increasing rainfall, heat waves. All of these incidents are due to greenhouse gas emissions, the report said. The report clearly states that these emissions are man-made.
According to the report, if no further measures are taken, the Earth's temperature is likely to rise by 4-5 C. The consequences will be devastating. But with the right measures, global warming can be slowed down.
