Abstract:- This paper reviews empirical methodologies assessing the impact of climate change on economic indicators in India, utilizing historical data on weather, climate, and economic indicators. Additionally, We explore global climate change dynamics, emphasizing level and growth effects, using climate econometrics to analyze temperature-GDP relationships and broader sectoral impacts. It evaluates diverse econometric approaches, including cross-sections and panel methods, for estimating climate change impacts. We then explore the pathways through which climate affects the Indian economy, finding robust evidence that temperature impacts overall growth, including sector-specific effects. Notably, weather-related disasters exert a significant impact on the Indian economy, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation into their repercussions. In contrast to existing survey papers, our focus extends to the nuanced interplay of climatic factors with the Indian economy, fostering discussions on policy implications, methodologies, and empirical research. This paper also reviews the evolution of environmental climate policy history in India along with outlining different available adaptation and mitigation policies. Lastly, we outline several unresolved questions for future exploration.
