RESEARCH AND EDUCATION IN INDIA ON CLIMATE CHANGE

摘要

India's wide-ranging ecosystems make its inhabitants vulnerable to climate change in many different ways. This article traces the educational opportunities and recent research in this field in Indian institutes and universities. Original research based in the country is critical for India's interest and well-being. But the research and knowledge base of this interdisciplinary field within India and its influence on policy making faces many challenges. There is a need for greater coordination and cross talk between different fields of research and education, government agencies and other stakeholders.
