Strengthening responses to climate variability in South Asia

This document looks at the root causes of vulnerability and non-adaptation in fragile contexts and at the opportunities for strengthening resilience to combined risks of climate change and conflict. The research takes local resilience as the starting point to understand the linkages between climate change impacts and insecurity, and the interaction of environmental risks with pre-existing stresses faced at the household and village level. The document is divided into sections by country, reviewing Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Pakistan.
