Impact of Climate Change on South Asia: Problems and Possible Solutions

Dr. Vineeta Bhatt

Abstract :

 This paper tries to explain the impacts of climate change on South Asia, one of the world’s most vulnerable regions and biggest victim of natural disasters due to over population, food insecurity and poverty. Against a backdrop, continuing increase in the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) that are responsible for global climate change, energy consumption and use of fossil fuels in South Asia are growing rapidly which leads to high temperatures, droughts, typhoons, flooding etc. It is predicted that the temperature will increase by the end of the century in South Asia by 3.3 °C with the min–max range as 2.7 – 4.7 °C. In terms of economic, the region will be at risk of losing up to 8.8 percent of their GDP by 2100 due to climate change. This paper attempts to study ways in which legislatures can ensure technology transfer which will lead towards low–carbon and green development in South Asia.
