New Report Warns of Immediate Climate Risks Across India's 11,000 km Coastline
Indian Coastal Region: Climate Projections 20212040 report released by Azim Premji University, Bengaluru. Santonu Goswami, Professor, School of Climate Change and Sustainability, Azim Premji University, Bengaluru Focusing on near-term projections (2021-2040) the study provides actionable insights for policymakers and local communities, using CMIP6* model projections corrected for regional bias to improve accuracy. The report warns that the window for adaptation is rapidly narrowing as the 1.5C warming threshold is expected to be reached across Indias administrative regions in the near future. Climate change is not some distant future challengeit is the reality of today. 2040 is just 14 years away, said Anurag Behar, CEO, Azim Premji Foundation . This dataset brings to life the impacts of climate change with much greater immediacy, highlighting how we must restructure our infrastructure and governance to ensure we collectively address this crisis. The report traces how specific changesfrom rising wet-bulb temperatures in Kerala to intensifying monsoons in Maharashtraare already rendering traditional knowledge systems, like the Nakaih wind calendar, unreliable. It aims to provide the foundational data necessary for local authorities to build district-level resilience. The data in this report is a mirror that reflects a reality we can no longer afford to ignore. For decades, we treated climate change as a global abstraction a problem of polar ice caps and distant centuries. But our findings show that for the Indian coastline, the crisis is hyper-local and immediate. Whether it is the heat stress in Ernakulam or the rising salinity in the Sundarbans, our vulnerability is visible in all aspects of our daily lives. We have a short window of time to move from reactive mitigation to proactive adaptation we need to craft a future that acknowledges the ecological challenges faced by our nation, said Harini Nagendra, Director, School of Climate Change and Sustainability, Azim Premji University. Maharashtra and Gujarats coastal regions are entering a period of significant environmental transition, with Suburban Mumbai projected to see summer maximum temperatures rise by 1.3C, highlighting the growing need for heat-resilient urban planning. This warming is accompanied by a marked intensification of seasonal rainfall; Suburban Mumbai is expected to face almost an additional week (+6 days) of heavy rain, while districts like Surat and Bhavnagar are preparing for Southwest monsoon surges of 23% and 24%, respectively. These shifts are already impacting local livelihoods: for instance, the Koli community in Mumbai reports business losses when unpredictable rain spells disrupt the traditional drying of prawns. By focusing on the immediate 2040 window, the report provides the granular data necessary for the West Coast to safeguard its infrastructure and unique coastal heritage. Key Findings Rising Temperatures:Indias average temperatures are projected to increase by 1.5C, with approximately 40 coastal districts likely to see summer temperatures rise by over 1C. Dangerous "Wet-Bulb" Heat: Coastal Kerala and Tamil Nadu will experience high summer wet-bulb temperatures, nearing the 31C- levels considered dangerous for humans. Ernakulam Heat Spike: Ernakulam is projected to record the highest increase in maximum summer temperatures projected at +1.3C among all coastal districts. Intensified West Coast Monsoons: Coastal Maharashtra and Gujarat will receive significantly higher rainfall with suburban Mumbai likely to experience nearly an additional week of heavy rain. Surats Monsoon Surge: Surat is projected to see a substantial 23% increase in Southwest Monsoon compared to historical levels. Sea-Level Rise and Erosion: Under moderate emission scenarios (SSP2-4.5)**, global sea levels are projected to rise by 15 cm by 2050, accelerating coastal erosion and creating "ghost villages" in regions like Ganjam, Odisha. Cyclone Risk: Rapid acceleration in sea surface temperatures (0.27C per decade) is increasing the likelihood of intense tropical cyclones. Impact on Traditional Livelihoods: In Goa, unseasonal rains are destroying entire salt harvests within hours, while warming seas are pushing fish further offshore, leading to "empty nets" for small-scale fishermen. Health and Salinity: In the Sundarbans, rising salinity from frequent embankment breaches is linked to increased skin diseases and menstrual health challenges among women.

Dr Jitendra to inaugurate Lavender festival at Bhaderwah on June 6: Director CSIR-IIIM Jammu
Union Minister of State in PMO Dr Jitendra Singh will inaugurate the 4th Lavender festival to be organised by the CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine (IIIM), Jammu at the Government Degree College (GDC), Bhaderwah, Doda, on June 6 and 7, 2026. Director CSIR-IIIM Jammu Dr Zabeer Ahmed, while announcing it in a curtain raiser press conference at Institute complex, stated that the festival would be organised under the theme, Lavender goes global, celebrating the continued success of the purple revolution and lavender-based rural entrepreneurship in J&K. Dr Ahmed said that through CSIR-Aroma Mission, a flagship programme of Union Ministry of Science and Technology, under the mentorship of Dr Jitendra Singh, Union Minister and Vice President CSIR, and guidance of Dr N Kalaiselvi, Director General CSIR and Secretary DSIR, Government of India, the CSIR-IIIM implemented Aroma Mission in J&K thus empowered the rural communities through lavender cultivation by engaging over 5,000 farmers and young entrepreneurs in remote areas, providing free Quality Planting Material (QPM), support in cultivation, processing, value addition, and marketing. During the three phases of this mission completed, more than 50 fixed and mobile distillation units across J&K were installed to support local-level processing of lavender produce. During the curtain raiser event, the web portal of Lavender festival 2026 was launched and the Lavender festival brochure was also released. The festival is being organised under the patronage of Dr N Kalaiselvi and overall supervision of Dr Zabeer Ahmed, assisted by his team of HoDs and scientists including Abdul Rahim, Dr Asha Chaubey, Dr Dhiraj Vyas, Dr Shashank Singh, Dr Sumit Gandhi, Dr Naveed Qazi, Dr Suphla Gupta, Dr Saurabh Saran, Kaushal Kumar, Dr Raj Kishore, Zahoor Wani, Rajesh Gupta and Ashok Kumar. Dr Ahmed said that the Lavender festival emerged as a national platform showcasing the transformation brought by the CSIR-Aroma Mission in remote Himalayan regions, especially Bhaderwah, which had become a major lavender cultivation hub under the Purple Revolution initiative. He said the 2026 festival would witness enthusiastic participation of scientists, startups, aroma industries, entrepreneurs, policymakers, agri-business stakeholders, students, progressive farmers and representatives of fragrance and wellness companies from across the country. The Director said the event would feature startup exhibitions, live demonstrations, buyer-seller interactions, technical sessions, farmer-industry networking and displays of value-added lavender and aromatic products developed by local entrepreneurs and startups. Highlighting the growing impact of the aroma sector, Dr Ahmed said CSIR-IIIM played a pioneering role in expanding lavender cultivation in Jammu and Kashmir Uttarakhand, north eastern states and Himachal Pradesh through scientific interventions, free quality planting material, distillation technologies, training and entrepreneurship support. He said thousands of farmers and young entrepreneurs benefitted from lavender cultivation, while women-led enterprises and startups also emerged under the mission. Dr Ahmed said, The upcoming festival follows a series of precursor events organised to strengthen the aroma ecosystem and market linkages in the region. He referred to the recent aroma buyer-seller meet organised at the CSIR Innovation Complex, Mumbai, where leading aroma and perfumery companies interacted directly with lavender farmers, startups and entrepreneurs from J&K. Earlier, another buyerseller meet jointly organised by the Directorate of Ayush, J&K Medicinal Plants Board and CSIR-IIIM at Bhaderwah focused on strengthening the medicinal and aromatic plants sector through direct farmer-industry partnerships and contract farming initiatives. He said those interactions laid the foundation for a stronger aroma-based economy in Jammu and Kashmir by connecting farmers with industries, startups and national markets. Dr Ahmed said the Lavender festival 2026 aimed to further promote agri-based entrepreneurship, sustainable livelihoods and innovation in the aromatic crops sector. He said several startups, farmer producer organisations, self-help groups and research institutions would showcase products related to essential oils, herbal wellness, floriculture, cosmetics, organic products and aroma technologies during the festival. The event, according to him, will also include technical discussions on lavender cultivation, post-harvest management, essential oil extraction, branding, marketing and export opportunities. Seeking wholehearted participation of people from different walks of life, Dr Ahmed said, The festival is not only a celebration of lavender cultivation but also a movement towards transforming the rural economy of the Himalayan region through science-driven agriculture and entrepreneurship. He appealed to farmers, students, startups, researchers, industry representatives, media persons and members of civil society from J&K, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and across the country to attend the festival and witness the success story of the Purple revolution in Bhaderwah. He also extended a special invitation to national and regional media organisations, journalists, digital content creators and documentary filmmakers to extensively cover the festival and highlight the transformation of the Himalayan rural economy through lavender cultivation and aroma-based entrepreneurship.

Located around 20 kilometres from Handwara town, Reshwari has gained significant popularity in recent years, with people from nearby areas visiting the destination almost every evening in search of solace. In fact, residents from Handwara, Sopore and Baramulla frequently visit Reshwari, particularly on weekends, spending quality time with their families amid the scenic surroundings. The gushing waters of Nallah Mawer, which offer cool breezes, remain the centre of attraction for visitors. Besides, the premium variety of trout fish found in the stream inspires people to visit the place more often. Locals have even established private trout fish farms in the area, where visitors relish freshly prepared trout and often purchase fish to take home. For travellers heading to Bangus Valley through the Mawer route, Reshwari serves as an ideal stopover where visitors can rest and refresh themselves.
