Exposure is a key component in determining climate risk; however, inconsistencies around its conceptualization have been relatively less explored. This article first makes a case for studying exposure as a crucial factor in understanding the consequences of climate change and highlights the fact that exposure is a necessary factor in understanding both vulnerability and adaptation. It then goes on to trace the regional differences in exposure to climate change in India, and identifies the most climate change-affected districts in the country.
