Complex political interplay makes the situation worse in south Asia, as internal socio-economic-political concerns of countries influence their policy responses to climate change and water sharing issues. The two adjoining countries-India and China-complicate the situation further, as two big powers never coexisted in Asia. The book argues that academics, policymakers, and others must adopt a region-wide policy response, as climate does not have political boundaries.Climatic changesIndiaFresh waterIndiaWater-supplyIndiaEnvironmental policyIndiaIndiaClimateIndiaEnvironmental conditionsClimatic changesFresh waterWater-supplyEnvironmental policy363.738/740954Ray Binayak1572397MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781504003321Climate change3847311UNINA
