Recommendations for state of Assams strategy and action plan on climate change-First Draft
Climate change is perhaps one of the most important global environmental
challenges being faced by humanity today, with its implication on food production system, natural ecosystems, fresh water supply, health and weather related calamities. The North East region of India including Assam is expected to be highly prone to consequences to climate change because of its sensitive geo-ecological set-up, strategic location with international boundary, presence of the Eastern Himalayan ranges, transboundary river systems, inhabitation of ecosystem by people of different ethnic groups and inherent socio-economic differences.
