Abstract

Climate change has an impact on all the natural ecosystems as well as the socio-economic condition of India. It has been projected that climate change would severely degrade the current living conditions of poverty-stricken people to the point that it would impose heavy taxes on the economic and industrial resources owned by the state. Rapid economic growth, widespread poverty and high population density have made India vulnerable to climate risk. This study is based on secondary data obtained from the World Bank and the International Energy Agency Statistics. Thirty years of data from 1990-2020 have been used to examine how environmental and climatic factors influence economic growth, focusing on estimating both marginal and joint counterfactual effects. The findings present a complex and counterintuitive picture of how environmental and climatic factors influence India’s economic growth from 1990 to 2020. Furthermore, the study has highlighted the policies that connect economic planning with climate action.
