Agriculture and food security are among the major casualties of climate change in India. Strategies such as adopting necessary mitigation measures and reducing greenhouse gas emissions along with widespread awareness on this issue, are needed.
Accelerating climate change poses a danger to the future health, safety, and livelihoods of people worldwide. Especially vulnerable are those who live in poverty. Rapid economic expansion in Asia and the Pacific has brought substantial benefits to the region

Current estimates of the cost of the impacts of climate change in developing countries and of the needed adaptation measures are in very short supply, and the available ones are rather crude. To a large extent this is because this is a very new research area and no agreed methodology exists to assess the economics of adaptation to climate change, particularly in the context of more limited data.
In changing climate conditions, it is the
This paper analyses the root causes of rural outmigration, focusing on its economic and social implications. It takes as its starting point the fact that mobility is inherent in human existence. Livelihoods and sociocultural changes are intimately connected with population movements.
This study provides guidance on linkages between the design of development programs and the objectives of adapting to climate change and limiting emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs).
Today, coal is used to produce nearly 40% of the world
