This book provides a synthesis of research findings, in terms of strategic knowledge outcomes regarding emergence of recent regional climate signals, implications for impacts assessment, and mitigation and adaptation response, relevant in the Indian context. The first part discusses evidence of climate change and its underlying scientific processes across India, chiefly focusing on impacts that are already visible and attributable to anthropogenic activities. The latter part deals with the responses to climate change, highlighting the mitigation and adaptation strategies in various sectors and communities.
The book presents a concise interpretation, distilling practical recommendations and policy prescriptions at national and sub-national levels. It serves as a reference point for understanding scientific advances and persisting uncertainty, future vulnerability and response capacity of interlinked human and natural systems, pertaining to India. It is an excellent resource for policy makers and industry watchers in addition to the research fraternity.« Synopsis » peut appartenir à une autre édition de cet ouvrage.
À propos de l’auteur
Chandra Venkataraman is a Professor of Chemical Engineering and Associate Faculty at the Interdisciplinary Programme in Climate Studies, IIT Bombay. She works on environmental and climate science and aerosol nanoparticle engineering. Her research has contributed influential scientific knowledge on black carbon aerosols, climate change and air quality degradation over South Asia. She has built research networks for climate and air quality studies. She is the National Coordinator of the NCAP-COALESCE project leading 17 institutions investigating regional climate impacts of carbonaceous aerosols (MoEFCC). At IIT Bombay, she was instrumental in the establishment of Interdisciplinary Programme in Climate Studies and was Principal Investigator of the DST-supported Centre of Excellence in Climate Studies. She is the recipient of a Fulbright-Nehru Research Fellowship (2012), Vikram Sarabhai Award (2005), Fellowship of the Indian National Academy of Engineering (2016), the National Academy of Science, India (2017), and the Indian Academy of Science (2017).
Trupti Mishra is an Associate Professor at Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management and Associate Faculty at Interdisciplinary Programme in Climate Studies, IIT Bombay. She holds a Ph.D. in Economics from IIT Kharagpur. Her research interest is focused on economics of pollution, economic assessment of climate change vulnerability, adaptation and mitigation options and corporate environmental sustainability. Her research involves developing different low carbon scenario in sectors, identifying cost-effective mitigation option for industry, suggesting environmental compliances measures to achieve low carbon growth. She has published her research findings in various chapters and journal papers. She is also working on climate change impact and adaptation at city and community level. Her co-authored 2017 publication in Climate and Development (Taylor & Francis) on assessing the socio-economic vulnerability of cities in India received wide mainstream media coverage.
Subimal Ghosh is an Associate Professor at the Interdisciplinary Programme in Climate Studies and a Faculty at the Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Bombay. He works in the area of hydro-meteorology. His research interests include climate change impact assessment with statistical downscaling, understanding land surface feedback to monsoon, hydrological simulation and urban extreme rainfall forecasts. He has received several awards in recognition of his research, a few among them being INAE Young Engineer Award, INSA Young Scientist Award, NASI Young Scientist Award and IEI Young Engineer Award. He has published articles in reputed journals such as Nature Climate Change, Nature Communications, Scientific Reports, Geophysical Research Letters, Journal of Climate, Water Resources Research. He has been selected as one of the lead authors for IPCC Assessment Report 6 for a chapter on extremes by Working Group-I.
Subhankar Karmakar is an Associate Professor at the Centre for Environmental Science and Engineering, and an associated faculty member at the Interdisciplinary Programme in Climate Studies, IIT Bombay. He obtained his Ph.D. on "Uncertainty Modelling in Water Resources Systems" from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, and was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. Further, he received a BOYSCAST Fellowship from the Government of India to pursue research on Ecological Modelling at Duke University, NorthCarolina, USA. His primary research interests are environmental systems analysis, uncertainty modelling and risk vulnerability analysis to climate-induced natural hazards. Some of his recent research contributions include understanding the dependence of Indian summer monsoon rainfall extremes on temperature, mapping disaster vulnerability for a densely populated coastal urban area, and developing lifecycle-based decision support tools for selecting wastewater treatment alternatives. He has published over 40 international journal papers, 5 chapters and several international conference proceedings.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
