CLIMATE-INDUCED WATER DISPUTES BETWEEN INDIAAND PAKISTAN AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES FOR BANGLADESH'S AGRICULTURE

Abstract

Climate-induced water disputes between India and Pakistan and their impact on agriculture in Bangladesh: the research theme This research project analyses climate-induced water disputes between India-Pakistan with a focus on implications for Bangladesh agricultural sector. This monograph underlines the linkages of South Asia water resources, the implications of climate variability on water availability and tools for sustainable food security in Bangladesh. This study uses a political ecology lens that is applied to describe the power relationships, and environmental context for these conflicts and reflects on ways for regional cooperation and sustainable water use. As the results demonstrate, immediate actions are required to work collaboratively in circumventing climate change effects on agriculture and freshwater resources within the region.
