South Asia

Among the regions of the world, South Asia is one of the most sensitive to global climate change, population growth, and rapid industrialization/urbanization. The region depends heavily on the variable regional monsoon as well as water derived from glacial melt in the Himalayas; both of these are affected by climatic change. Critical concerns in the South Asia region include food and water security, air quality, sustainable development, and vulnerability to impacts of climate change. START activities in the region are guided by the South Asia Regional Committee (SASCOM), and supported by the South Asia-START Regional Research Centre (SAS-RRC) at the National Physical Laboratory in New Delhi, India, which also serves as the Secretariat to SASCOM.
