Study Notes
Climate Change Impacts
- High-emission industries face challenges transitioning to cleaner technologies, affecting electricity production, transportation, and other sectors.
- Climate change worsens water scarcity, leading to conflicts over shared water resources and impacting agriculture, hydropower, and economic activities.
Arctic Resources and Climate-Induced Conflicts
- Melting Arctic sea ice opens economic opportunities but raises concerns over resource exploitation and territorial disputes among nations.
- Climate change exacerbates existing tensions and conflicts over resources, particularly in regions facing political instability and economic challenges.
Economic Impacts
- Climate change disrupts global supply chains, causing economic losses and shortages of critical goods, exemplified by the 2011 floods in Thailand.
- Climate change susceptibility prompts wealthier individuals and businesses to relocate, potentially leading to economic displacement and further marginalization of vulnerable communities in safer areas.
India's Critical Mineral Acquisition Plan
- India aims to bolster its access to critical minerals in Africa to enhance resource security and challenge China's dominance in the region.
- Khanij Bidesh India Limited (KABIL) was established in 2019 as a joint venture to secure strategic minerals like lithium and cobalt from overseas.
Mangroves and Climate Change
- Climate change alone jeopardizes one-third of assessed mangrove forests.
- Sea-level rise is predicted to submerge 25% of global mangrove area in the next 50 years.
- Indian mangroves vary in status: Andaman and Bay of Bengal are classified as Least Concern, while South India is Critically Endangered, and West India is Vulnerable.
Climate Litigation
- Environmental activists have sued Norway, challenging its proposal for seabed mineral exploration, claiming inadequate impact assessment.
- Climate litigation involves legal action to hold countries and companies accountable for climate efforts and contributions, with a rising trend of 2,180 cases in 65 jurisdictions by December 2022.
