Abstract

Climate change is an all-around threat to India, affecting water resources, agriculture productivity, and food security, commonly described as a “triple threat.” Increased temperature globally, irregular rainfall, melting of glaciers, and more frequent occurrences of extreme climate events like floods and droughts have undermined ecosystem processes and human lives. Whereas previous research has studied these problems in silo, a gap in research exists to comprehend the interlinked legal, socio-economic, and environmental implications of climate change on the water-agriculture-food nexus in India.
