Preface
Global climate change is an existential threat. Climate models project increasing mean surface temperature both over land and ocean, increase in the frequency of extreme events, and imbalances and long-term changes in the complex climate system. Notwithstanding the proactive steps being taken to reduce greenhouse gas emission, Global Warming will persist for a longer period. Nevertheless, the climaterelated risk is a function of the rate and magnitude of increase in surface air temperature, geographical setting, carbon-dependent economic development pathway, portfolio of mitigation and adaptation strategies, and vulnerability. The potential impacts of climate change are pervasive – it challenges our existence, growth and development and indeed the way of life. The existential environmental challenges and o
