A Native American proverb very aptly puts it:“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” Nonetheless, while predatory humans have tasted success in their agenda of constructing an artificial paradise, they have ensured that continuation of life on earth itself is endangered. Today, humans are subject to unpredictable vagaries of environmental change, which have manifested themselves in a number of ways and at a much more frequent pace than in past decades. Organizations such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have been actively monitoring developments in the climate domain for several years. The scientific community’s findings in terms of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, rising sea levels, and accelerated melting of glaciers have opened the eyes of the international community to the problem of climate change. Similarly, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), the primary space agency of the Indian Government, has found alarming impacts of climate change on the Himalayan glaciers, agricultural yield, and hydrology in India. Nevertheless, the process of reaching consensus over plausible solutions and implementing them is a long-drawn one.
