Abstract

This paper examines the impacts of climate change at regional, national, and global levels, with a specific focus on Geographical Indication (GI) agricultural products. These products are inherently linked to their native ecosystems, making them highly vulnerable to changes in temperature, precipitation, soil quality, and water availability. Using doctrinal and qualitative methodologies, including a review of IPCC, FAO, and ICAR reports, the study explores the dual nature of climate impacts and presents case examples from India and abroad. It proposes policy strategies and climate-resilient adaptation frameworks to safeguard GI-based agriculture and preserve cultural heritage.
