Handbook of Climate Change and India: Development, Politics, and Governance - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This handbook brings together prominent voices from India, including policymakers, politicians, business leaders, civil society activists and academics, to build a composite picture of contemporary Indian climate politics and policy.

The volume: lays out the range of positions and substantive issues that shape Indian views on global climate negotiations; delves into national politics around climate change; and analyses how climate change is beginning to be internalized in sectoral policy discussions over energy, urbanization, water and forests.

The collection shows how, within India, climate change is approached primarily as a developmental challenge. Internationally, considerations of equity across countries and a focus on the primary responsibility for the action of wealthy countries continue to be central, but there are growing voices of concern on the impacts of climate change on India.
