About the book
Climate Change does not exist in isolation. Its impacts reverberate through multiple aspects of society and intersect significantly with various development objectives encapsulated by the SDGs. Recognizing this profound interconnectedness, the book critically explores the complex interplay between climate policy, legal frameworks, socio-economic realities, technological advancements, and governance mechanisms within India, presenting a multi- dimensional analysis from eminent scholars and practitioners.
Structured across six broad thematic areas—Legal and Policy Approaches to Climate Change Prevention; Socio-Cultural and Judicial Perspectives on Climate Action; Human and Societal Consequences of Climate Change; Corporate and Market-Based Approaches to Climate Action; Governance and Regulation of Climate Action; and Technological and Economic Pathways for Climate Change Mitigation—this volume provides a comprehensive scholarly resource that elucidates the depth and breadth of climate intersectionality. The contributing chapters offer robust theoretical insights, critical policy analyses, and practical recommendations that highlight the complex realities faced by India, while also pointing towards innovative and actionable pathways forward.
