While climate change is a global threat, it has particularly severe implications for India. Factors like dense populations, urban sprawls, poor drainage and sewage infrastructures, interrupted access to health care and geographical position, makes the extreme weather events particularly dangerous. While the physical danger of being swept away in flash floods and being killed in landslides and fires are present , the flood waters bring with them the danger of water borne diseases and increase incidences of cholera, diarhoea , typhoid and others. It is an inescapable fact that as humans we are dependent on nature for our physical survival but also for our emotional well-being.
