In addition to environmental consequences, permafrost thaw carries significant and multi-faceted security implications — direct and indirect, ongoin
Given the rapidly growing population, resource constraints and climate change concerns, accompanied by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic — it is
Climate change, which has been the global poster agenda for the last two decades, could be used as a strategic area for further cementing a genuine an
Besides vaccine diplomacy, this Quad meeting deliberated on matters like climate change, and critical and emerging technologies.
Marginalised sections of the urban population, particularly women, are disproportionately affected by environmental degradation and extreme climate ch
It is about recognising that while cities offer economic opportunities to millions, they come with poor and overcrowded housing, lack of safe water an
Climate change induced natural disasters can have quite significant effects on the conflict scenarios in South Asia and, thereby, provide new impetus
The pandemic — while not caused by climate change — is a wonderful and horrible example of a radical non-stationary occurrence.
The risk associated with water availability gets complicated with global warming and climate change. This affects the scarcity value of water, and eve
Just like COVID-19 — climate change has the potential to destabilise various systems and institutions while simultaneously deepening the schisms bet
One of the less debated causes of growing greenhouse gases is the increasing global meat consumption.
India is currently the fifth most vulnerable country to climate change. Easing environmental norms will not boost economic growth.
Caribbean countries are already facing the existential threat of anthropogenic climate change — the timing of the pandemic could not attack the regi
As the world soldiers on to combat this formidable adversary, another global catastrophe — one involving higher stakes and no cure — looms large.
At the start of the republic, India found a normative voice on the global stage through its moral stand against colonialism. Now a rising India needs
Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) as an appproach implies that farms need to become more resilient to climate change and efficient in their input use.
India in the past few years has seen over-subscription of green bonds. This shows that there are high levels of interest in the issuance of green bond
The Paris Agreement is a post-2020 continuation of the global fight by all countries against climate change and its impacts, said J. M. Mauskar in an

Climate change has added to the enormity of India’s food security challenges. While the relationship between climate change and food security is complex, most studies focus on one dimension of food security, i.e., food availability. This paper provides an overview of the impact of climate change on India’s food security, keeping in mind three dimensions — availability, access, and absorption. It finds that ensuring food security in the face
The relative prosperity being recorded by the countries of the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC)[1] is being confronted by multidimensional challenges brought about by climate change, including in public health. This brief examines the role of regional cooperation in mitigating these negative consequences of global warming. Analysing the national health policies of BIMSTEC countries, this bri
The climate narrative is beginning to exert itself in the development processes of poor countries. The impact of climate negotiations, and green capitalism that is rearing its head, are some elements that will define climate and security for India and other developing countries.
Global warming threatens lives and livelihoods across the Bay of Bengal region. With about nine million people living in low-lying coastal areas in these littoral countries, it is important to understand the changes in key climate variables in the region—primary of which is sea-level rise—and examine the states’ response measures. This brief describes the strategies being taken by countries of the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral
The alchemists of capitalism have turned the sparse carbon into 'carbon real estate,' available for sale to the highest bidder. The weak and poor have been priced out. And at the G20, we have just offered to subsidise the rich to buy more.
The authors propose an 'India exception' in global climate talks as the only realistic pathway to a global climate deal, which could also be a key tool in cementing stronger ties between India and the US, two critical actors in the evolving international order.
Climate change poses a significant risk to global food security. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and shifting precipitation patterns impact food production, disrupting food supply chains, increasing food prices, and diminishing food safety. These effects are particularly apparent in developing countries, where vulnerable populations struggle to access nutritious foods and small farmers face financial challenges. Tackling the impacts
Will the government’s ambitious mission, ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India)’ eventually prove to be a missed opportunity? Earmarking funds worth 10 percent of India’s GDP, the mission not only aims to respond to the devastating blow caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but also to serve as a long-term roadmap to growth. It is largely hinged on business-as-usual practices, including providing a push to the coal sector, which may be under
The BIMSTEC region is among the most vulnerable in the world from increased threat due to climate change. In the foreseeable future, climate change is projected to affect each BIMSTEC member country with greater severity and frequency, thereby impeding their response capacity significantly. This brief explores the vulnerability of the region from climate change and the BIMSTEC-level initiatives that have taken place to address the issue. Although
This brief discusses the climate change challenges facing the member states of the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) and the initiatives taken by them to mitigate the effects. The South Asian countries within BIMSTEC are particularly vulnerable to global warming-induced weather variations that cause economic damage and loss of lives. At the same time, BIMSTEC economies have achieved impressiv
