| 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.

| 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.
