INDIA: Kolkata is right now battling the impact of climate change.

Kolkata, a city on India's East Coast, is experiencing rapid temperature increases due to both global warming and urbanization. The city's infrastructure, not designed with climate change in mind, traps heat, exacerbating the situation. Environmentalists have long fought against this unchecked urban growth, but government focus remains on short-term needs. Despite the lack of a climate change plan, the city faces extreme weather patterns, with torrential rains becoming the new normal. There is a growing call for climate action to ensure a habitable future, as the city struggles with these challenges.
