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. 606 $aClimatic changes$zIndia 606 $aFresh water$zIndia 606 $aWater-supply$zIndia 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zIndia 607 $aIndia$xClimate 607 $aIndia$xEnvironmental conditions 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aFresh water 615 0$aWater-supply 615 0$aEnvironmental policy 676 $a363.738/740954 700 $aRay$b Binayak$01572397 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781504003321 996 $aClimate change$93847311 997 $aUNINA
