Exposure is a key component in determining climate risk; however, inconsistencies around its conceptualization have been relatively less explored. This article first makes a case for studying exposure as a crucial factor in understanding the consequences of climate change and highlights the fact that exposure is a necessary factor in understanding both vulnerability and adaptation. It then goes on to trace the regional differences in exposure to climate change in India, and identifies the most climate change-affected districts in the country.Keywords

Non-communicable diseases and hunger are significant global issues, with undernourishment and hunger creating a vicious cycle. Promoting millets during the International Year of Millets in 2023 with the theme ‘Healthy millets, healthy people’ is a healthier option than rice or wheat. Millets offer health benefits such as low glycaemic index, high fibre content and antioxidant properties. They also help regulate blood sugar levels, aid in weight control and lower the risk of obesity. The National Millets Mission was launched by the Government of India to encourage the production and consumption of millets, nutrient-dense, high-energy foods that can help deal with non-communicable diseases and significantly combat the global burden of these diseases and global hunger. Owing to the benefits of millets, including them in the daily diet can decrease the chances of cardiovascular diseases and ultimately improve the health of people.Keywords
