Concern over adverse fallouts of climate change

摘要

Scientists and rubber technologists from all over the world deliberated on the adverse fallouts of climate change on rubber production at an international workshop organised by Rubber Research Institute of India (RRII) in association with International Rubber Research and Development Board (IRRDB) in Kottayam from July 28 to 30. Inaugurating the workshop, Rubber Board Chairman Sajen Peter said the RRII has been tracking the temperature and has found that it is increasing steadily. There are more than 10 million small growers who depend on natural rubber cultivation for their livelihood in the producing countries and climate change has the potential to post serious threats to their living, he said.
