About the Book

This book explores climate action and justice in India, a country which has been facing extreme climate events and complex socio-political challenges arising from climate change. It offers diverse perspectives and insights into India's evolving climate landscape, policies, grassroots initiatives, and response to climate vulnerability and inequality. The book scrutinizes policy efficacy, addresses community vulnerabilities and perspectives, and showcases innovative sustainable development strategies. It draws upon climate adaptation literature to underscore the significance of global cooperation in tackling climate change challenges. With a focus on inclusivity and global collaboration, the book will serve as a great resource for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders in navigating the complexities of climate action and justice in India. Part of the Innovations, Practice and the Future of Public Policy in India series, this open access volume will be of interest to public and climate policy professionals, social science professionals and students working on climate change, climate action and justice, public policy, social sciences, environmental science, geography and South Asia studies.

Review :
'These volumes fill a unique niche in the continuum between academic research and advocacy. They go beyond merely identifying challenges in various aspects of human development, particularly health, nutrition, and education, and instead explore potential solutions through critical reviews of what works. This makes the collection immensely valuable to both academicians and practitioners, rendering these volumes essential reading for anyone interested in public policy.' Sonalde Desai, Professor, National Council of Applied Economic Research and University of Maryland 'Human development cannot be viewed segmentally through a reductionist lens, since the various elements are closely integrated and impact each other. Health is inseparable from nutrition, and both are influenced by education, environment and economic development. In each of these, equity is the litmus test of development serving its social purpose. These six volumes knit these varied skeins into a unified tapestry of human development. While detailing the key components of each of the main themes, the composite collection connects them to create a coherent design for accelerated and equitable people centric human development in India.' K. Srinath Reddy, Founder (Past) President, Public Health Foundation of India 'These volumes compile the results of many micro studies in the areas of health, nutrition, education and rural livelihood development. These are critical areas where India needs to improve performance to achieve the objective of Viksit Bharat. Larger funding is unavoidable but even more important is to ensure efficiency of spending and it is here that these micro studies will provide evidence-based guidance in what works and in what circumstances. The solutions will not be the same across all states and this must be built into the design of each programme at the state level. The collection is an invaluable contribution in this very important area.' Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Ex–Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission of India
