'An excellent handbook, which brings together so many views and perspectives from India…Importantly, it adds Indian voices to the global discussion, which has so far, seen only a smattering of voices from the South.... the handbook will play an important role in bridging some of the gaps in understanding that exist both within India and within the international community.’Jairam Ramesh, Minister, Rural Development, and Former Minister, Environment and Forests, Government of India'The breadth of the subject treated and the depth of analyses render this book an indispensable tool for anyone working on climate change issues anywhere'.- Youba Sokona, United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), Ethiopia'This is a great volume, valuable not only to the debate in India but globally. Twenty years of climate diplomacy have taught us the central importance of understanding the domestic context that lies behind countries’ international positions; and also of domestic audiences understanding the impact of these positions internationally. This volume offers wide-ranging insights into both. It is the most comprehensive book yet to chart and explain the rise of climate change debates in the world’s most populous country – or indeed, in any of the major emerging economies. The Indian approach to climate change has consequences for all its citizens, and the world beyond: this is the book they need to read.' - Michael Grubb, University of Cambridge, UK
