CLIMATE CHANGE AND WATER RESOURCE ASSESSMENT IN SOUTH ASIA ADDRESSING UNCERTAINTIES

Climate change will affect everyone but developing countries will be hit hardest, soonest and have the least capacity to respond. South East Asia is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change with its extensive, heavily populated coastlines, large agricultural sectors and large section[r]

As we all know, greenhouse gas emissions generated by human activity will change Earth’s climate. The recent globally averaged warming by 0.5ºC is partly attributable to such anthropogenic emissions. Unfortunately, climate change may impact adverse affects on human health through a range of pathways[r]
