Integrating Lived Experiences and Water-Centered Strategies in India's Climate Resilience Efforts

As India faces rising temperatures and climate challenges, experts emphasize the need for policies grounded in people's lived experiences and water-centered adaptation strategies. While heat waves impact health, income, and daily life, especially in urban areas like Delhi, global climate efforts, highlighted at COP 30, prioritize integrating water, sanitation, and hygiene into resilience planning. These approaches aim to address localized vulnerabilities and improve climate risk governance through measurable, accountable systems.
