Assessing, Learning and Acting: cultural practice, ecological change and risk / Ghosh, Abhik   Journal Article
Ghosh, Abhik Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Our environment has been steadily getting worse ever since human beings have begun to evolve on this planet. It has especially become worse after human beings evolved sufficiently to become large populations, exploiting their local environment through complex equipment and tools. Measuring this was not such an easy task. The tools required were not yet ready and neither were our conceptions of the environment detailed enough in their complexity.

Cop 27 and the Impact of Climate Change on Water Resources in South ASIA / Ghosh, Abhik ; Rashid, Muzamil   Journal Article
Ghosh, Abhik Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Mountains are the water towers of South Asia and are the important source of the water for the major river systems in South Asia, providing water to millions of people. Melt water coming from these mountains is an important source to feed the rivers. However, Climate change is affecting both the precipitation patterns and glacial melting in South Asian mountains which have marked impacts on river flows, and may threaten the food security of people. In the past decades South Asia has experienced many climate changes including rapid glacier shrinking, reduction in snow cover, increase in floods, and irregularity in monsoons. We conclude that south Asia is vulnerable and the climate changes will affect it profoundly which could negatively impact the people living downstream of mountain areas. COP 27 in Sharm El Sheikh focused on the links between water and climate change and the actions required for combating climate change but the need is to not to debate only; but to act and build a sustainable world for all.

Disaster management and the role of anthropology / Ghosh, Abhik   Article
Ghosh, Abhik Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Disaster management can only be as good as the subject and the personnel that are involved in the process. Without human beings as support groups, an anthropological model is of no practical use. Perhaps it is this grounded nature of its reality that gives its tool-kit the added sharpness, better and more skillful at its job.

Navigating the Anthropocene: India’s Role in Shaping Global Climate Action at COP28 / Ghosh, Abhik ; Banka, Irfan Ali ; Rashid, Muzamil   Journal Article
Ghosh, Abhik Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract As COP28 drew to a close in Dubai, it marked a pivotal moment in global climate negotiations, symbolising a unified commitment to shift away from all fossil fuels. India, playing a central role in shaping COP outcomes, skillfully navigated discussions, aligning its national priorities with the broader global need for climate action and opting for a transition from coal rather than a phased elimination. Despite India’s ongoing efforts in climate adaptation, projections indicate a substantial financial requirement of Rs 57 lakh crore for adaptation alone by 2030 in a “business as usual” scenario, emphasising the urgency for robust climate financing.
