Abstract

This chapter synthesizes the impact of climate change and food security on South Asian region, providing: (1) background and history to SAARC and its member states, (2) highlighting the impacts of climate change and food security on SAARC, and (3) providing an analysis of the regional initiatives and its effectiveness to mitigate regional risks of food security considering climate change impacts. The chapter aims to adequately examine the efficacy of SAARC mitigation measures, SAARC adaptive and mitigating measures on issues regarding food security and climate change. Similar to Chapter 3, this regional case study only examines regional policies, notwithstanding that individual member states do have their ways to mitigate climate change and food security impacts. Secondly, policies specific to food security and climate change in tandem have been presented here.
