Climate Crisis seems to be India's largest existential threat, India lists 35 cities among the 50 Most polluted cities in the world, New Delhi has been ranked the world's most polluted capital city for a second consecutive year, Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad was ranked as the second-most polluted, after Bhiwadi in Rajasthan, out of 6,475 cities across the world in an annual air quality report prepared by Swiss organization IQAir. Air pollution caused an estimated 1.6 million deaths in 2019 in India — the highest in the world, according to a new report. The overall pollution-related deaths were also the highest in India (2.4 million); this includes water, lead and occupation-related pollution. According to report, more than 40% of India's population will face water scarcity by 2050, and at the same time the country's coastal areas, including big cities like Mumbai, will be affected by rising sea levels.

A new UN report has warned that climate change repercussions for India will be irreversible if New Delhi doesn't take drastic measures by 2030.
