Integrating climate change in Indias national security strategy should therefore be a priority,
considering that the risks from the impact of climate change are increasing both in terms of the
probability of occurrence of extreme climate events and in terms of the quantum of loss of human,
natural and economic capital from climate related disasters.
Early action on the assessment of risk and vulnerability, building capacity and capability to enhance
resilience and adaptation will lead to lowering the impact of climate change. It can therefore be
concluded that fine-tuning the national security strategy to analyse, assess, and prepare for the
uncertainties of climate change are likely to reap rich dividends for India and steps must be taken to
act in this direction.
