Study Report n°12 – South Asia
This study report (RA12) of the Defense and Climate Observatory presents the elements collected on five South Asian countries: Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It is organized according to the format inaugurated by the RA4, by proposing five country sheets headed by a regional analysis highlighting the vulnerabilities and cross-cutting challenges, the commonalities and differences.
Encyclopedia Universalis
The five sheets propose four distinct parts devoted respectively to:
- Observed and expected changes in the climate (as far as possible at the selected time horizons, 2030 and 2050) and the impacts that these changes may have on human and economic systems;
- A brief analysis of public policies in the fight against climate change (mitigation/adaptation) but also in the prevention and management of natural hazards;
- An evaluation of the role of the military and civil security forces in the management of natural disasters;
- To the presentation of crisis scenarios (trend and rupture) in which environmental and/or climatic parameters play a more or less significant role.
