Climate change accounts for just 3.3% of Indian parliamentary questions over the past decade: Study

What's behind this

A new report released in September 2026 finds that climate change questions made up just 3.3% of all parliamentary questions in India over the past decade, indicating that the issue remains a marginal concern in the legislature despite the country’s increasing vulnerability to extreme weather events. The study, titled India’s Parliamentary Discourse on Environment since the Paris…, highlights the limited parliamentary focus on climate change. Separately, a World Risk Poll report released in 2025, based on over 143,000 interviews in 140 countries, shows that only 40% of Indians warned could act before a disaster struck.
