The "Managing Monsoons in a Warming Climate" issue brief, developed by IPE Global and Esri India, addresses the pressing issue of climate change and its impact on India. As global temperatures rise and atmospheric humidity increases, heatwaves have become more frequent and intense, particularly in tropical regions like India. This brief delves into the projected increase in heatwave intensity and prevalence, which could affect 8 out 10 people in India by 2036 if current trends continue. The study highlights how these rising temperatures are altering the monsoon season, extending summer-like conditions, and exacerbating extreme rainfall events. Through a detailed regional assessment, the brief identifies heatwave hotspots across India and provides actionable recommendations to mitigate the socio-economic and environmental risks posed by these extreme weather events.
