BOOK REVIEW: India in a Warming World: Integrating Climate Change and Development

Abstract

In India climate change claims lives, spreads diseases and destroys livelihoods due to the country’s geographical exposure and low preparedness. Extreme poverty and inequality further exacerbate these impacts. However, India is a country of 1.4 billion people, with a dependency on oil and gas imports for urgent developmental needs. It is a growing economy but its historical responsibility towards climate change is very low.
