Climate Change: Altering the River ecosystem of Manipur

Climate change is altering river ecosystems and their services by disturbing the aquatic species or indirectly affecting the migration of species.These changes would result in severe disasters such as floods and droughts.Just as rivers symbolize climate threats, rivers also provide the source of powerful solutions.It is the right time to come together as a river and clean water movement to ensure decision makers at every level to enhance resilience to ongoing changes.Whether we are impacted by pollution, heat, flood, or drought, these difficult challenges require unprecedented cooperation around water and rivers.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Sixth Assessment Report 'Rivers and Clean Water are at Risk' on the physical science basis of climate change.Conservation and management of the river ecosystem of Manipur is a state priority, our own priority.
