Climate Vulnerability Study Says 25 Blocks in Meghalaya at High Risk

In a detailed climate vulnerability assessment conducted in Meghalaya, India, researchers found that 25 out of 39 Community & Rural Development Blocks are categorized as having high or very high vulnerability to climate impacts. Conducted by the Meghalaya Climate Change Centre as part of the National Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem, the assessment highlights factors such as inadequate infrastructure and low socio-economic resilience that contribute significantly to the region's vulnerability. These findings aim to guide targeted policy efforts to enhance climate resilience in such critical areas, and the study underscores the need for localized adaptation strategies.
