The Ganges and Brahmaputra river basins will experience large scale uncertainty in rainfall and frequent floods by 2100 due to the effects of climate change, according to a report by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC).
Besides, the average global temperature will increase between 3.5°C and 6°C by the end of the century, IPCC said in its ‘Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate’ (SROCC) released on Wednesday.
IPCC is an organisation of 195 UN nations. It took 3 years to compile the report by analysing nearly 7,000 scientific papers with inputs from 104 authors and editors across 36 countries.
The following are the highlights of the report relevant to the Indian sub-continent:
