Abstract

Effective climate change adaptation and mitigation require a transnational response. The failure of countries to reach an international agreement on specific strategies to avoid “dangerous climate change” has renewed interest in the geopolitics of climate change. Bosnjakovic (2012) has identified two approaches that are employed in the literature: “the actor-related approach analyses the positioning of states and interest groups, which develop strategies on coping with climate change; the other approach addresses processes and problem areas emerging in the geographic space as a consequence of, or linked to climate change” (p. 629). In Climate Change and the Bay of Bengal: Evolving geographies of fear and hope, Chaturvedi and Sakhuja (2015) further our understanding of the geopolitics of climate change through the latter approach.

Keywords: Climate change, Bay of Bengal, multilateral cooperation
