This volume outlines the specific conditions and responses to climate change in India. It discusses various aspects of the planetary crisis which have acquired widespread global urgency: global warming induced by anthropogenic emissions, largely owing to the fossil fuel-based economic growth model; severe environmental decline; and the catastrophic consequences that threaten the very foundations of modern life, which has been based on using nature as a 'resource', instead of an ecosystem in which human life exists. The book brings together contributors with expertise in fields as varied as national security, public policy, environmental law, climate justice activism, anthropology, restoration ecology, conservation biology, wildlife ecology, the health sector and medicine, conservation science, and sustainability, gender, humanities and the creative arts. It includes a new spectrum of responses and their interface with climate change which are often left out in science and policy circles--holistic or alternate, literary and the arts, dance and poetry, and an unusual ground-up approach with grassroots movements' perspectives along with theoretical practices, and a Gandhian way of thinking in a global economy.

Comprehensive, accessible and topical, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of environmental and sustainability studies, natural resources, environment and technology, sociology of development, development studies, public policy, energy and environment, and urbanisation. It will also interest practitioners, policymakers, think tanks and NGOs working on climate change issues.
