While 2020 will be remembered as one of the darkest years of the 21st century owing to an uncontrolled virus-borne pandemic, extreme climatic events have made their presence felt as well. Severe floods, repeated cyclones, and extreme droughts dominated the year, hinting at major climatic shifts in and around the Indian subcontinent. A new report released on Thursday says that over 75 per cent of districts in India are hotspots of extreme climate events. The study paints a grim picture and calls for immediate steos to address issues likely to affect over 638 million people living in these areas. Titled Preparing India for Extreme Climate Events: Mapping Hotspots and Response Mechanisms , the report by Council on Energy, Environment and Water found that over 97 million people were currently being exposed to extreme floods, 258 districts have been affected by cyclones during the past decade and the yearly average of drought-affected districts have risen 13 times since 2005.
