South Asia is the most densely populated region in Asia, while Asia is the most populous region globally. These regions are at the forefront of the climate disaster. Rising sea levels, changing coastlines, increasing frequency of extreme weather events, and increased temperatures are among the most catastrophic events generated by climate change. All these factors threaten the regional and global community and present challenges to the policy framework. Specifically, vulnerable and marginalized populations are significantly impacted by these disasters. As these regions confront the complex effects of climate change, a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and sustainable approach is essential. This book offers an extensive examination of disasters, climate change, and sustainability issues with special reference to South Asia.This edited volume offers new insightful knowledge to support policymakers and researchers to create a resilient future in South Asia, in the face of disasters, climate change, and sustainable development challenges. The book begins by delineating theoretical approaches for reducing climate change-induced disasters from a South Asian perspective. The subsequent chapters analyze many phenomena, including heat waves, riverbank erosion, climate-induced migration, policy challenges related to climate change, and the relationship between them. Providing a survey of the contemporary challenges and strategies for disaster response and climate change mitigation in the South Asian context, this volume offers a comprehensive resource for a diverse audience of academics, development practitioners, legislators and policymakers interested in disaster management, climate change, and sustainability studies in South Asia and beyond.
