That the effects of climate change are already upon us cannot be denied any longer. Unusual seasonal patterns, changing behaviors of flora and fauna, melting polar ice caps are all stark examples of the effects of climate change. Given the potentially catastrophic consequences of climate change, it is imperative to tackle this problem on an urgent basis using all the scientific wherewithal available to us. IIT Hyderabad has realized the urgency of this problem and has started an interdisciplinary MTech program on Climate Change. Importantly, researchers at the institute are tackling several problems ranging from carbon sequestration to wastewater management to environmental policy making.
