International Conference on Climate Change Adaptation

June 10, 2024

Sundar Singh Institute hosted an international conference on climate change adaptation solutions in South Asia. Scholars, policymakers, and practitioners attended from across the region and the world to explore interdisciplinary approaches through the lens of South Asian localized knowledge and development to make a difference in the global climate crisis.

Panels reviewed a range of options—from ecosystem-based adaptation to climate-resilient infrastructure to policy integration—to emphasize environmental vulnerability related to poverty levels and socio-economic disproportionately negative effects. Findings were presented as case studies emerging from both research initiatives and community engagement. This conference champions the South Asian Institute of Policy and Research’s commitment to sustained academic growth that supports implementation based upon research for solution-driven, locale-specific integration with a global perspective.
