Climate change phenomenon is a relevant global concern nowadays because its impacts will be felt all over the world in varying degrees and in various forms and will affect all organisms on earth. India is home to 16.2% of the world’s total population with only about 2.4% of the earths total land surface. It has different landforms with different regional climatic conditions. Therefore, there will be profound practical implications of the changes in climate in India on many aspects. It is the accepted view all over the world that the main driving factor for the global climate change is the rise in the mean global temperature since1901. This rise in global temperature is largely contributed by the humans because the life style of mankind have contributed enormous amount of green house gases in the atmosphere. These gases along with natural sources like water vapor and aerosols produced by volcanic eruptions etc. present in the atmosphere trapped the heat that is reflected from the earth’s surface and redirected it towards the earth. The accumulation of higher concentration of the green house gases results in the increase of the temperature of the earth. The immediate consequence of global warming is the drastic and destructive changes in the climatic conditions in different regions of the world. The increasing temperature affect the precipitation patterns and disrupt and cause damaging floods and draughts in different parts of the globe. The effects of climate change in agriculture and on human health caused by the increasing temperature as re-
