🌍 Climate Change and Environmental Concerns
Experts attribute the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events in Kerala to climate change. Rising temperatures have led to more moisture in the atmosphere, resulting in heavier downpours. Additionally, unplanned development and deforestation have exacerbated the region’s vulnerability to such disasters.

In response to these challenges, Kerala has intensified its preparedness measures. The state has launched advanced weather alert systems and is working on stabilizing vulnerable slopes and clearing river channels.
