India may see 2.8% fall in GDP by 2050 on climate change: World Bank

29 Jun 2018 Evaluate

Amid rising temperatures and changing monsoon rainfall patterns from climate change, the World Bank in its latest report has expressed worries that the India may see 2.8% fall in GDP by 2050. The report further noted that climate change could also depress the living standards of nearly half of the country’s population by 2050.

According to the report, even if preventive measures are taken along the lines of those recommended by the Paris climate change agreement of 2015, India may see a rise of 1-2 degrees celsius in average annual temperatures by 2050 and the expected decline in living standards of the population can be attributed to a fall in agricultural yield, lower labour productivity or related health impacts.

World Bank found India’s central, northern and north-western states most vulnerable to changes in average temperature and precipitation. Besides, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh are predicted to be the top two climate hotspot states by 2050 and are expected to experience a decline of more than 9% in their living standards, followed by Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.

Further, in order to offset the negative economic impact, the report suggested India to work on enhancing educational attainment, reducing water stress, and improving job opportunities in the non-agricultural sectors. The report noted that a 30% improvement on these measures could halt the decline in living standards by almost 1% from 2.8% to 1.9%.On the Asia front, World Bank warned that these weather changes will result in lower per capita consumption levels that could further increase poverty and inequality in one of the poorest regions of the world, South Asia.
