The main causes of climate change in India are as follows:
- An increase of greenhouse gases like Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), Methane (CH4), Nitrous oxide (N2O), Carbon dioxide (CO2), and Ozone (O3) in the atmosphere
- Deforestation to develop human settlements
- Excessive usage of fossil fuels
- Increasing agricultural activities, changes in land-use patterns, and other sources lead to rising levels of methane and nitrous oxide
- Release of greenhouse gases through vehicular emissions
