| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Climate change basically mean significant changes in temperature and wind patterns over a period of time. Modernisation and urbanisation have changed the nature of the terrain destroying natural protection barriers such as wetlands and seasonal rivers. South Asia is witnessing erratic monsoon patterns, flash floods, cyclones, and depletion of glacial cover in the upper Himalayas which highlights climate change. Environmental security issues have always been on the SAARC agenda. However, it is crucial that agreements should actually translate into positive outcomes at the ground level. The challenge of climate change further calls for efficient use of technology and resources. |
