India has contributed immensely to the body of scientific research and analysis that underpins the understanding of the global impacts of climate change. There is, to a slightly lesser degree, an understanding of specific regional impacts. More needs to be done here, especially understinding micro-level impacts.
There are global negotiaitons on climate change going on since the '80s. And there is a whole set of practices developed on what we can do individually. Collectively, at the local and regional level, we are beginning to see action being taken. More needs to be done, - to understand the impacts, and to take action so that vulnerable sections of our communities will be able to adapt to the vagaries of climate change.
| Water Resources and Climate Change: An Indian Perspective by R. K. Mall, Akhilesh Gupta, Ranjeet Singh, R. S. Singh and L. S. Rathore Review Articles, Current Science, Vol. 90, No. 12, 25 June 2006 Read more This article examines the potential for sustainable development of surface water and groundwater resources within the constraints imposed by climate change and future research needs in India. An assessment of the availability of water resources in the context of future national requirements and expected impacts of climate change and its variability is critical for relevant national and regional long-term development strategies and sustainable development. |
