New Delhi, Apr 21 (PTI) Heat waves made more likely by climate change may impede India’s progress towards its sustainable development goals, according to a study.

India has committed to achieving 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), including no poverty, good health and well being, and decent work and economic growth.

However, researchers at the University of Cambridge, UK, and colleagues suggests that current climate vulnerability assessments may not fully capture how heat waves linked to climate change may impact SDG progress.
