| Summary / Abstract (Note) |
The paper seeks to understand Bhutan's climate diplomacy and to identify the strategic implications of climate change for Bhutan. The implications are scaled at the national and the regional levels. The impact of climate change is studied within the broader analytical framework of the threats posed and the opportunities offered to Bhutan in the context of regional politics. The main argument is that India-Bhutan cooperation on climate change needs to be synchronized with the co-benefit approach, which India has been articulating at the national level. This approach, it is argued, will go a long way towards evolving a 'nuanced' approach in contemporary environmental diplomacy. |
