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.
