This book provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary
examination of the diverse aspects of climate change in South Asia.
The region, home to almost 4% of the world's population, is under
serious threat from climatic disasters. The volume underscores the
urgency of addressing cataclysmic events related to climate change
and their ramifications on the economy, agriculture and livelihoods
of the region. The book discusses the reasons causing climate
change as well as highlights normative and ethical considerations
involved in the battle against climate change. With case studies
from India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, it explores issues such as
extreme climatic events; energy use, fossil fuels, non-renewable
resources and carbon dioxide emission in South Asia; internal
migration and climate refugees; the ethical dilemma of sustainable
development; technological advancements for extreme weather
forecast; and responses to climate change in South Asia.
Highlighting the need for striking a balance between developmental
imperatives and environmental sustainability, the chapters also
show the North-South divide in the research agenda and policies on
climate change and the global politics that underlie climate
policies. The volume juxtaposes a scientific analysis of factors
responsible for climate change with an analysis of the human cost
of climate change from the perspective of social sciences. It
discusses the challenges faced by developing countries while also
offering recommendations and solutions. This book will be of
interest to scholars and researchers of climate studies, geography,
public policy and governance, sustainable development, development
studies, environmental studies, political studies, international
relations, political economy, economics and sociology. It will also
be useful to practitioners, thinktanks, policymakers and civil
society organisations working on environmental management.
