Climate change has been a major existential threat to humanity, and much-debated predictions of its devastating consequences are becoming a reality. The various natural hazards and disasters are a cause of grave concern, and there is a need to study these hazards, their impact on the society, the nation’s economy, and various other vulnerabilities in the future. There is a huge gap in understanding the impact of climate change on the society, and it seems that we all are living in a state of denial. So, there is a strong need to combine all available data in one document to give a holistic view of actual problem. Therefore, this paper, will review the various likely vulnerabilities in front of India and how climate change will exacerbate the Natural hazards. It will also bring out the likely impacts of climate change on the India’s economy.Moreover, it’s evident from this review that India’s vulnerability to climate change and consequential hazards is greatly amplified because of its socioeconomic, demographic, and geographic characteristics and large population, which strain the existing infrastructure. Various findings based on review of data is also listed at the end to give the consolidated outcomings of the review, which highlight the major threats as heat waves, erratic precipitation, cyclones and floods. The paper will also highlight how developing countries like India are spearheading the drive to decrease the carbon footprint and prevent further impacts on the climate.
