Abstract: Abstract India is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change impacts. Climate change impacts are many and varied, and this paper provides only first-order approximations. In the agriculture sector, the paper has looked only at output losses of three major food crops—rice, maize and wheat. While the health impacts of climate change include mortality at old age due to heat waves, this paper has focused on deaths related to three important diseases—diarrhea, malaria, and dengue. Impacts on energy infrastructure will be many, and the analysis has focused on increased requirement of power generation for meeting peak hour demand of electricity.
