Importance of Addressing Climate Change in Indian Elections

Climate change is often overlooked in Indian elections as voters prioritize issues like development and employment that have more immediate effects on them. Despite acute environmental challenges such as water shortages and extreme weather, the electoral debates in India rarely focus on climate change. The lack of emphasis on this critical issue is further evident in the minimal parliamentary questions related to climate change and the scarcity of political parties dedicated to environmental concerns.
