For sustainable development, support the faces of climate resilience

With the El Niño phenomenon still developing, the Indian meteorological department declared a 29 per cent chance monsoons this year would be “below normal”. But unseasonal weather (including both rainfall and temperature variations) might have already led to a loss of 1–2 million tonnes of India’s wheat crop. It is such unseasonality and unpredictability that is at the heart of the climate crisis. The paths to sustainable development are already challenged by repeated shocks. But they do not account for climate variability. This must – and can – change if we let nature show the way.
