Climate Change, Insecurity, and Migration: A Closer Look at India

The document examines India as a critical case study for the climate-insecurity-migration nexus, highlighting the tension between economic development and climate action. It identifies the need for stronger domestic architecture, regional policy platforms, improved institutional coordination, and adequate climate finance to address these challenges across South and Southeast Asia.

• India faces a complex challenge in balancing its goals of poverty reduction and economic development with the necessity of climate action, which affects its population of over 1.4 billion and the wider South Asian region.
• The authors identify four primary areas for policy improvement to address the climate-migration-insecurity nexus: strengthening domestic architecture through political will, creating regional and transnational policy platforms, enhancing institutional capacity and coordination, and securing sufficient climate finance.
