Panaji, December 24 (IANS). Because the effect of climate change can be easily seen in the coastal state, the environmentalists believe that the government should give precedence to address it, otherwise the state will suffer financially. Goa stares at the threat of erosion on the coast, the increase in sea level and floods that lose 15 percent of its land and agricultural activities are affected. Environmental keeper Abhijeet Prabhudesai while talking to Ians said that climate crisis is the only problem to be noticed. “He said,” It must be the only issue of dealing with government. According to the Goa State Action Plan for Climate Change, 15 percent of the country Goa will be destroyed due to floods and other reasons. Therefore, it must take precedence. According to Prabhudesai, if Goa loses its soil, it will also affect tourism, because the beaches will be plunged into water. He questions: “We will lose tourism areas on which our economy depends. What we would do if the economy collapses.” He said that the loss of 15 percent of the soil would cause a great loss for the coastal state. “There will be coastal erosion due to the increase in sea level. The entire coastal area will be affected.” Prabhudesai said climate change affects the agricultural sector, and the government must therefore give precedence to resolve these issues by making maximum provision in the budget. There are many problems. Now the rain pattern has changed, we do not know what will happen in the future. Instead of spending a large amount of projects, money should be spent on addressing climate change. “He said that climate change also affected the pattern of fruit.” Many farmers say that climate change has influenced cashew nuts and other activities. Even fishermen say fish go to other places to breed because the climate is not suitable. “He said,” our beaches become smaller because of the sea erosion and the pattern of the flowering of fruits and flowers changes. Even migratory birds come in small numbers. “Abhay Naik, a South Goa farmer, said he was suffering in cashew production as a result of climate change.” We have seen a decline in our cashew production over the past three -four years, ‘he said. According to the environmental conservation there can be seen.
