Climate Governance in South Asia

This Chapter provides readers with an overview of the pressing necessity for strong climate governance in South Asia, analyzing global and local aspects. South Asia nations have taken proactive measures by implementing domestic regulations, engaging in international initiatives, and developing technical solutions to address climate-related concerns. However, enduring political, socioeconomic, and governance barriers necessitate strategic resolutions. Regional cooperation is crucial for successful climate measures, requiring skilled diplomacy. The chapter thus highlights the importance of South Asia in global efforts to reduce climate change, focusing on the transition to renewable energy and active engagement in international advocacy. Enduring endeavours, collaborative initiatives, and fair settlements are the key as they will convert the goal of climate resilience in South Asia from a mere ambition to a binding commitment that surpasses national boundaries and temporal limitations.
