Central and South Asia climate risk report

The climate risk report for the Central and South Asia region is part of a series of standardised regional climate risk reports the Met Office is producing in collaboration with ODI.   

Understanding future climate risks depends on analysing both future climate conditions, and the socio-economic vulnerabilities exposed by those conditions.  

Climate risks threaten human wellbeing and development. Climate risks for the Central and South Asia region have been explored in this report through exploring their impact of systems including: agriculture and food security, water resources and water-dependent services, health, infrastructure and settlements, energy, environment, and blue economy and the marine environment. 

These were identified by considering the current climate and climate change model projections from the present day to the 2050s, and their interaction with regional socio-economic vulnerabilities.
