Abstract

Purpose


The main purpose of this research work is to identify various responses taken by India and China regarding the concept of Ecofeminism and Climate Change.


 


Methodology


A secondary data collection method with thematic data analysis has been developed based on the key aspects of research findings to make the data more concise and easier to understand.


 


Findings


As per the results, China has generated more focus on carbon emission measures, as it has been declared as the world’s top emitter of GHG. The country generates more than ⅓rd of the world’s total annual GHG emissions, due to a 10% average economic rise per year. In India, heat waves and heavy rainfall can increase by 50%-240% due to huge GHD emissions by 2025. China and India have focused on migration strategy and transformation of the residential building from 3.5 stars to 5.56 stars for mitigating climate change issues. In India, many rural communities involve women in protecting nature as well. However, patriotism sometimes becomes the main obstacle in its way.


 


Originality


All the research data has been collected from original published research articles concerning various phenomena.
