Physical anchor (भौतिक आधार)
GHG concentration ↑ → radiative forcing ↑ → energy imbalance → warming
Begin with the mechanism, not a weather event.
Warming is an energy-balance problem.

Climate Change & Global Warming
From greenhouse forcing to differentiated Indian impacts, adaptation and mitigation.
Climate change is a risk multiplier: a physical forcing travels through unequal exposure and unequal adaptive capacity, so the same hazard produces different losses.

Drivers (कारक)
Energy + land-use + industry + agriculture → emissions and sink loss
Separate sources from the structural systems that keep producing them.
Emissions are outputs of development systems.
CoreRisk equation (जोखिम समीकरण)
Hazard × exposure × vulnerability ÷ adaptive capacity → realised loss
Use this to organise every impact paragraph.
A hazard becomes a disaster through exposure and vulnerability.
CoreDifferentiated Indian impacts (भारत पर असमान प्रभाव)
Himalaya + coasts + drylands + farms + cities → distinct impact chains
Link each geography to water, food, health, livelihood and infrastructure.
Do not list regions; show why each is exposed.
CoreResponse portfolio (उत्तर ढाँचा)
Mitigation + adaptation + loss reduction + climate finance → resilient transition
Match the instrument to the risk; adaptation cannot replace mitigation.
Mitigate the cause, adapt to the residual risk.
CoreJust transition (न्यायपूर्ण बदलाव)
Low-carbon shift + energy access + livelihood protection + federal capacity
End on implementation and distribution, not slogans.
Climate policy is development policy under a carbon constraint.
