Climate change will lead to many changes in global development and
security especially energy, water, food, society, job, diplomacy,
culture, economy and trade. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) defines climate change as: "Any change in climate
over time, whether due to natural variability or as a result of
human activity." Global climate change has emerged as a key issue
in both political and economic arenas. It is an increasingly
questioned phenomenon, and progressive national governments around
the world have started taking action to respond to these
environmental concerns. This book discusses the issue of food and
water security in India under the context of climate change. It
provides information to scientists and local government to help
them better understand the particularities of the local climate. It
offers insight into the changes to natural ecosystems which have
affected the local Indian population. Climate change is one of the
biggest challenges to Indian society. It can lead to serious
impacts on production, life and the environment. Higher
temperatures and sea level rise can lead to flooding and cause
water salinity problems which bring about negative effects on
agriculture and high risks to industry and socio-economic systems
in the future.
This volume aims to develop a framework for disaster and climate
risk resilient livelihood system in Bangladesh using a policy
oriented approach. It highlights the possible impacts of climate
change on groundwater based irrigation in the country. Climate
change is one of biggest challenges to society. It can lead to
serious impacts on production, life and environment on a global
scale. Higher temperatures and sea level rise will cause flooding
and water salinity problems which will bring about negative effects
on agriculture and high risks to industry and socio-economic
systems in the future. Climate change will lead to many changes in

This book presents a variety of climate change impact and
mitigation strategies for different environments in India. These
include fractional snow cover change in the Himalayan region, and
the impact of frequent cyclonic storms on land use and land cover
changes along coastal areas. The book explores watershed, surface
water, and hydrologic conditions for urban storm water drainage, as
well as trend analysis of precipitation, and a statistical approach
to detect rainfall trends. The book starts with a critical review
of climate change diplomacy, adaptation and mitigation strategies
in South Asian countries. It also covers the role of natural gas in
energy security. There are chapters pertaining to farmer's
perception on the impact of climate change, as well discussion on
land use change and ecological implications. Many geographical
areas are covered including; the Mahananda River Basin, Pindar
Basin, Kumaun Himalaya, the Upper Tapi River Basin, Southern Kerala
Districts, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka State, Telangana State, Tamil
Nadu State, to name a few.
