Climate change creates imbalances across multiple levels -President

The President Smt Droupadi Murmu graced the valedictory session of the International Conference on ‘The Future of Environment and Climate Dynamics’, organized by the National Green Tribunal, in New Delhi today (September 20, 2026).

Speaking on the occasion, the President said that climate change creates imbalances across multiple levels of human existence. Issues such as biodiversity loss, water stress and land degradation are deeply intertwined with it. Climate change is also having serious repercussions on food security, health, and livelihoods.

The President said that a well-structured framework of policies and actions is essential to effectively address such a complex challenge. The framework must ensure the active participation of not only governments and legal experts but also the communities most affected by climate change. Special sensitivity towards the needs of rural and forest-dwelling societies, small farmers, women, and other vulnerable communities is crucial, as they bear the brunt of natural disasters.
