Extent of the problem
Earth has lost about 80 % of its native forests. 71% earth is covered by water in which 68% covered by sea and 3% on land. Similarly, 29% earth is covered by land. According to a recent NITI Aayog report, 21 Indian cities will run out of groundwater in coming years if usage continues at the current rate. Earths average temp has been increasing above 1-degree census; consequently, it increased the frequency of drought and at some places suddenly increased raining than normal rain converts that area into flood. The Sixth Assessment Report by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on Global warming at 1.5c temp propagates the need to strengthen and enhance existing coping capacity. According to World Bank report due to Environment Degradation India faces loss of Rs. 3.75 trillion per year that is 5.7% of GDP.
