Abstract

Prepared for decision-makers in South Asia by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), this publication is an important guide to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere. It outlines crucial current climate change trends pertaining to specific countries and geographic regions. It advocates for resilience and urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to limit damage to the Earth’s oceans and frozen lands (the cryosphere). The most effective solutions will come from integrating knowledge across Indigenous and local knowledge systems and science; and across natural and physical sciences and the humanities.
