First modification:
India, the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, is already one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change. This year alone it has seen cyclones, serial heat waves, droughts followed by torrential rains, floods, and even the detachment of a glacier in the Himalayas. More than 1,000 people have died from these natural disasters and, according to a UN report, weather events cost the country $ 87 billion last year.
