India and Pacific Islands Partnership on Climate Resilience | CNED Development Dialogues

This discussion focuses on India’s role in fostering robust partnerships with the Pacific Islands, in terms of climate resilience, displacement, migration and loss of biodiversity. In recent years, the Indo-Pacific has emerged as the new geostrategic and geopolitical pivot where the small island developing states (SIDS), especially in the Pacific lack the wherewithal to deal with several developmental challenges. Jonathan Ritchie uses a historical lens to better comprehend the social, political and environmental challenges faced by these island nations of the Pacific and where India fits in this strategic milieu.
