Visualising climate change risks: The Climate Risk Assessment Tool (CRAT) for Puducherry UT
The Union Territory (UT) of Puducherry, comprising four regions, is primarily located in low-lying coastal and water-adjacent lands, making it highly vulnerable to climate change extremities and hazards such as droughts, heatwaves, floods, sea level rise (SLR), and coastal erosion. These pose significant challenges to the UT of Puducherry's agriculture, biodiversity, coastal ecosystems, infrastructure, and water resources. A comprehensive multi-hazard risk assessment is crucial to address and manage these multifaceted challenges effectively.
