India could see an additional 15 to 40 unusually hot days each year in the next two decades due to accelerating climate change, compared to the 1981-2010 climatic baseline, according to a new artificial intelligence-powered climate intelligence platform.
The platform — known as the Climate Resilience Analytics and Visualisation Intelligence System (CRAVIS), and is developed by Delhi-based climate think tank Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) — was launched on Wednesday. According to CRAVIS, the country could see a rise of 20 to 40 warm nights annually in several regions.
