A systematic review methodology is applied to examine adaptation responses in the riparian countries of these Himalayan river basins at three different levels: policy objectives, institutions, and practice. Using a systematic review methodology, it presents a comprehensive assessment of the state-of-knowledge as well as state-of-affairs with respect to climate change adaptation policy and practice in the South Asia region.application/pdfenRIVER BASINSLITERATURE REVIEWGLACIERSHIMALAYAGANGES-BRAHMAPUTRA-MEGHNAHOTSPOTSRESEARCH METHODSKNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENTCOMMUNICATION STRATEGIESRESEARCH TO POLICYSOUTH ASIASOUTH OF SAHARAJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
