Climate change is attributed directly or indirectly to human activities that alter the composition of the global atmosphere. Climate change is primarily influenced by the Green House Gases CO2, Ozone, Methane and Nitrous Oxides. Main cause of climate change is deforestation which leads to loss of carbon stored in soil and vegetation to the atmosphere and affects the global carbon cycle. In this paper, the author has highlighted the effects of climate change on Rajasthan’s farmers and people who depend heavily on livestock. Climate change in Rajasthan intensifies the variability of monsoon leading to rise in extreme seasonal changes such as devastating floods in 2005 as well as frequent scant rainfall and prolonged droughts. Some mitigation strategies to tackle the effects of climate change on agriculture, water resources, land resources and human health have also been framed.
