Abstract
Flanked by the Arabian Sea, Karnataka is a coastal state in the south west of India where owing to encroachment, pollution and infrastructural activity in the state, lakes and bodies of water are disappearing. The climate plan in Karnataka is the outcome of three distinct efforts resulting in three parallel documents. A formal plan has been produced by the Environmental Management and Policy Research Institute (EMPRI). Part of a larger project “Global Administrative Law: Improving Inter-institutional Connections in Global and National Regulatory Governance,” this report reviews the development of climate change planning processes in India, specific to various bio-regions.
