⭕️ Yojana Capsule 26: Indian Coastal Community and Climate Change🌴🎋

🌴 Climate Change refers to long - term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns

🅾️ National Environment Policy (2006)👆, The Coastal Zone Management Guidelines of India (M. S. Swaminathan Report, 2005) on coping capacity of coastal communities

🅾️ Important 💯 the "HAZARD LINE" by MOEFCC which is a hundred years return interval of dangers by natural events such as cyclones, tsunamis, floods, storms, waves and shoreline changes with sea-level rise

🅾️SEA-LEVEL RISE (SLR) : it is one of the primary factors for shoreline changes. Read above to know how these SLR act as predictors of climate change and how such changes lead to inequality and human rights violation amongst the coastal communities.

Must read Hazard Line (HL)👆 Map by Survey of India and the National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management under MoEF&CC
🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵

✅️ Increased Sea Surface Temperature (SST) : SST is the water temperature close to the ocean's surface. As greenhouse gases💨 trap the energy from the sun☀️, the ocean 🏄‍♀️ absorb heat, resulting in an increase in SST ✅️

❓️❔️Does SST affect the ph of ocean water? Yes, acidic or alkaline? 👆(read the previous page, shared, to know the answer of this)

🐠🦈🐟Read also the impact of SST on the fish stock and biomass and cyclogenesis

🅾️ Shoreline Changes (SLC):Coastal stretches of India are classified as :
👉Stable
👉Accreting
👉Low-erosion
👉Medium - erosion and high erosion coasts.

🌊Read about Artificial Coasts, too

👆Above page is also important to know about:

🅾️Climate Change Knowledge Portal (CCKP)

🅾️ Hazard Profile Map (HMP)

✅️ MCQs will be posted on such topics, so, till then read them carefully

🅾️ Salt water Intrusions in near-shore areas are very common in coastal districts of India and this problem intensifies during summer season. Read above to know how the ratio of Cl/(Co3+HCO3) contaminates many coastal areas

🔵 Read the page which discusses other problems of Indian coast, too, with remedies shared at the end of
each section✅️

✅️Way forward and solutions👆 to tackle climate change risks based on the risks and vulnerability using the Livelihood Vulnerability Index
