India is currently enduring extreme heatwaves, with temperatures soaring above 48°C, driven primarily by climate change, as stated by UN Climate Chief Simon Stiell. This month has seen severe human and economic impacts across the country, prompting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to advise citizens to stay hydrated and watch for signs of heat exhaustion, particularly among vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly. Stiell noted that the peak electricity demand reached a record 270.8 GW on May 21, exacerbating the situation amid rising fossil fuel costs due to global conflicts. He praised India's efforts in clean energy, particularly solar power, as essential for providing cooling and maintaining energy security. Stiell warned that not only India but the entire world is likely to face increased heat extremes in the future if climate action is not accelerated. Scientific evidence links global warming to the rising frequency and intensity of heatwaves, especially in countries like India that are highly susceptible to heat stress.
