With reference to climate resilience and infrastructure needs in rapidly urbanizing Indian cities, consider the following statements: 1. The rapid expansion of built-up concrete surfaces in Indian cities has severely reduced soil permeability, increasing vulnerability to urban flash floods. 2. Under high-emission scenarios, annual heat-related mortality in India is projected to rise significantly by 2050 if mitigation strategies are not adopted. 3. India's urban population is projected by UN estimates to increase substantially, approaching nearly 800 to 900-plus million by 2050. Which of the statements given above are correct?
