"The objective of the volume is to raise the primary questions of unequal effects of climate change and of climate action, with the goal of bringing these questions into ongoing scholarly and policy debates on climate change in India. It calls for moving beyond the existing debates about international versus domestic climate justice to examine the complex ways in which international and subnational policies, programs, and resource mobilizations intersect to shape the outcomes of climate action and climate justice"--

This book addresses the links between climate change and the threats it poses to sustainable development, from a distance education perspective. Discussing current trends and challenges in sustainable development education, climate literacy and innovations in climate change education, it contributes to the global debate on the implementation of education for sustainability. It also assesses the role that e-learning can play in this process, addressing pedagogical concepts as well as the wide range of technological options now available

On February 11-13, 2020, over 200 attendees gathered from all over the world for the Sixth International Conference on Climate Services held in Pune, India. The event, which took place at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), was supported by India's Ministry of Earth Sciences, the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), and the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS). Participants represented a diverse group of institutions from NGOs, international organizations, research institutions, and government agencies. Participants gathered to hear presentations on "advancing the knowledge and practice of climate services for climate resilience," across a set of thematic topics on the state of the practice of climate services, the state of knowledge, and building resilience. ICCS is the premiere climate services event, organized jointly by the Global Framework for Climate Services, an international effort coordinated by the World Meteorological Organization, and the Climate Services Partnership (CSP), an informal platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration. Climate services, which provide timely, tailored information and knowledge to decision-makers – generally in the form of tools, products, websites, or bulletins – are an important part of improving our capacity to manage climate-related risks.

Climate change represents one of our greatest public policy challenges. A broad, well-established and international scientific consensus exists that our planet is undergoing climate change. The question is not whether there is climate change, but how best to respond to it. Climate change is a global phenomenon that requires a global effort unlike anything previously attempted. This global challenge is complicated by related and more controversial questions about causal responsibility. Although convincing evidence shows that climate change is a result of human behavior, much less agreement exists on how this should factor into policy.
