The Fourth Assessment Report of IPCC having clinched in 2007 the
evidence of global warming on account of anthropogenic activities,
backed with scientific data gathered and analyzed globally, has
made it mandatory world over to focus efforts on delineation of the
anticipated adverse impacts of global warming on regional
temperature and moisture regimes and the linked hydrologic,
climatic and biospheric processes. First and foremost is the
requirement to understand vulnerability to food and livelihood
security in various ecosystems-on mainland, mid-range and high
mountains as well as coastal areas including CEZs. The projected
global temperature rise of the order of about two degrees or more
and further rise at a decadal rate of o around 0. 2 C is sufficient
to make grievous changes in sea surface level and submerge many low
lying coastal areas around the world thereby possibly causing
unprecedented losses to human habitat and livelihood in the coming
years. A rise in climate variability is also becoming increasingly
evident with potential direct impact on agricultural performance,
on water accessibility and on weather extremes. Developing
countries due to their poor infrastructure, limited resources and
large impoverished population are likely to face more intense and
wi- spread adverse impact of climate change than the developed
world and also have limited adaptation capacity.
