Around two-thirds of people in India say climate change has already had a severe effect in areas they live and it is likely that their families will be displaced from their homes in the next 25 years, according to a new survey.

Conducted for the World Economic Forum among 23,507 people in 34 countries between July 22 and August 5 on Ipsos’s Global Advisor online survey platform, it revealed that on an average, more than half (56 per cent) of all adults surveyed in the 34 countries said climate change has already had a severe effect in the areas they live.

As many as 22 countries show a majority reporting that they have already been severely impacted by climate change, including nine countries where it exceeds two-thirds of all those surveyed.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
