Rising Heat, Sinking Hope; CLIMATE REALITIES IN COASTAL INDIA

The coastal crisis is as much about people as it is about the environment. The book explores how climate change amplifies existing inequities, hitting hardest those least equipped to cope. Women, who form nearly half the coastal workforce, juggle care-giving and labour under harsher conditions, their contributions often invisible. Marginalized caste and tribal communities face systemic barriers, locked out of resources and decision-making. Youth, the future of these coasts, grapple with the loss of traditional livelihoods while leading bold movements for change.
