India's Climate Taxonomy Must Include Loss and Damage

India's Climate Taxonomy Must Include Loss and Damage

India is working on a plan to help fight climate change, called a climate taxonomy.

It helps decide what kind of investments are good for the environment.

But the plan doesn't talk about something called Loss and Damage, which is when people lose homes or jobs because of climate change, like floods or heat waves.

These losses are hard to deal with.

The author thinks the plan should include how to help people recover from these climate disasters, and it should offer funding for those recoveries.

This is important for countries like India, which is highly vulnerable to climate change and needs to prepare for the impacts.
