Climate change in Assam is manifesting as increased temperature, irregular rainfall, and more frequent and intense flooding, leading to significant impacts on agriculture, livelihoods, and infrastructure. The state is particularly vulnerable due to its high rainfall and subtropical climate, and the effects are already being felt across various sectors. Assam has already started experiencing a significant increase in annual mean temperature, with scientists making projections which indicate further increases by 2050. Monsoons, on the other hand, are becoming increasingly erratic and unpredictable, with periods of heavy rainfall followed by prolonged dry spells across the state. Projections, meanwhile, indicate that extreme rainfall events could increase by up to 38 per cent in Assam compared to the baseline period. The most visible impact report, however, is emanating from the tea industry of Assam, which is facing the most immediate effect, particularly of erratic rainfall and rising temperature. This in turn has already started affecting production as well as quality, which in turn is feared to affect the livelihood of thousands of tea growers and workers and ultimately the overall economy of the state. Assam also being a major rice-producing state, with rice production being considered a vital part of the state’s economy, it has also been identified as highly susceptible to climate change impacts like erratic rainfall and floods. There are also reports which have confirmed that climate change has directly contributed to significant soil erosion, particularly along the Brahmaputra River, which in turn has adversely impacted riverine and fertile agricultural lands. Unicef, meanwhile, has warned that climate change will affect children the most in the years to come. That this threat is real was already proved when schools had to be kept shut for several days in the past two years due to an extreme rise in temperature or incessant rains.
