| Summary/Abstract |
Climate change discourse entails a very complex set of factors, policies, negotiations and diplomacy, at the same time it exemplifies a very peculiar practice of science as well. Multiple voices which are quite commonly known as the climate change negotiations have turned it into a very critical debate. The discourse is critical not because there is climate change, which after all is an eternal phenomenon responsible right from Jurassic upheavals to the pre-Holocene glaciations. It is because, this time around, there is clear cut and quite visible anthropogenic contribution to acceleration of adverse effects of climate change resulting in the warming of the earth having far reaching consequences.

| Summary/Abstract |
The present article tries to locate the climate change diplomacy and politics within the larger framework of history and culture. Historical roots of climate change diplomacy are linked with scientific discoveries and a North-South geo-political binary. The climate change diplomatic negotiations are located within the backdrop of cultural theory and grand narratives of different geographical spaces. Broadly there are three cultural narratives regarding climate change that originate at different places and attribute different causes for climate change and hence float different solutions to tackle the problem. The contemporary mantra for a climate deal should be an integration of various narratives and stories rather than the competition of claiming one or the other as the main narrative and ignoring the other.

| Summary/Abstract |
Sustainable development is a very slippery concept. It is slippery in the sense that it demands curtailment of luxury and privileges in favor of the needy others and therefore commitment to sustainable development by the rich and mighty may easily slip away. At the same time, high energy, high calorie, high wasteful lifestyle is not going to be sustained in the long term.

| Summary/Abstract |
Kedarnath and Kashmir floods teach us some very important lessons which may go a long way in management of flood disasters. The first lesson is that the climate change is a reality and we need to prepare for more frequent and severe hydrometeorological hazards in the coming years.

| Summary/Abstract |
Environmental activists and scholars have taken differing intellectual positions regarding the goals and meaning conveyed by ‘sustainable development’. While most believe in a wider scope for application of the concept based on its suitability to the socio-political, economic, and biological aspects of the man-nature synergy, there are other members of the community that suspect that merely prefixing every developmental initiative with the term ‘sustainable’ would not solve the issues plaguing the environment and natural resource utilization.
