This book highlights the interdependencies, trade-offs, and competing demands of climate, nature, and food (C-N-F) constitute a nexus. Managing this nexus ensures the integrity of ecosystem services and sustains natural capital. Before elaborating on the process of nexus, it would come in handy to explain how the terms ‘climate’, ‘nature’, and ‘food’ are used in the present context. ‘Climate’ is mainly used in terms of rainfall and temperature. Extreme events of rainfall and temperatures result in floods and droughts. Here, the terms 'climate' and 'climate change' are used interchangeably as synonyms. ‘Nature’ includes both use values (natural resources) and non-use values (biodiversity), which include soil, water, forests, habitat, biodiversity, etc. While natural resources like soil, water, forests, biodiversity, etc. (use values of nature) impact food production directly, non-use values (preference, existence, esoteric, etc.) impact indirectly. However, non-use values are not considered in the present analysis, as assessing non-use values is more complex than evaluating the use values. ‘Food’ production systems primarily include agriculture, forestry, and water-based production systems (such as marine aquaculture). All three production systems are critically linked to nature and are affected by climate change.

Bank Regulation and Supervision Practices in South Asia presents a comprehensive analysis of bank regulation and supervision practices in South Asia, offering in-depth country-specific and cross-country insights into regulatory frameworks and their harmonization within the region. Focusing on six South Asian countries — Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Maldives, and Sri Lanka — the book systematically evaluates progression of key regulatory and supervisory practices to assess their effectiveness in promoting financial stability, resilience, and inclusive growth. It employs a co-created, comparative approach based on a common analytical framework, supported by survey-based data from the World Bank's Bank Regulation and Supervision Surveys (BRSS) and the latest ADBI-conducted survey during 2018-2024.The country studies covered in the book provide discussion on a wide range of core and emerging regulatory frameworks, including deposit insurance, capital adequacy, liquidity regulations, FinTech-enabling and digital payments regulations, consumer protection, and environmental and social compliance norms. A unique analytical framework is adopted for assessment of macro-financial diagnostics, financial policy evaluations and identifying regulatory gaps in South Asia. Further, it presents the econometric assessment of the impact of regulatory reforms on bank performance in South Asia.The book fills an important knowledge gap by offering both theoretical and practical insights, combining expert analysis with first-hand perspectives from central bank officials. It serves as a useful policy-relevant reference for regulators, researchers, and development partners, delivering actionable recommendations to strengthen regulatory norms and address emerging risks emanating from digitalization and climate change in the region.
