Publication Adaptation policy and practice in densely populated glacier-fed river basins of South Asia: a systematic review(2015) Sud, R; Mishra, A; Varma, N; Bhadwal, S; Residential College 4Rivers are the cultural, social and economic backbone of South Asia, and therefore, the focus of public, political and scientific debate. Himalayan glaciers are the source of numerous large Asian river systems, which support rich ecosystems and irrigate millions of hectares of fields, thereby supporting about a billion people who live in their catchments. Impacts of climate change in river systems are likely to have considerable social, economic, ecological and political implications. This paper reviews literature for three major glacier-fed river systems of South Asia—Brahmaputra, Ganga and Indus—to understand governance mechanisms for climate adaptation in the region. A systematic review methodology is applied to examine adaptation responses in the riparian countries of these Himalayan river basins in three different levels—policy objectives, institutions and practice. Using the “fit for purpose” governance framework, we try to examine how far or near is the region for operationalizing principles of adaptive governance. © 2015, The Author(s).Publication EVALUATION OFTHE NORMALISASI POLICYIN JAKARTA, INDONESIAUSING SYSTEM DYNAMICS(2019-06-01) Navarun Varma; Sugeng, ES; Smith, ZA; Dr Navarun Varma; Residential College 4Publication Bridges and barriers for governance of water resources in South Asia- Insights from Brahmaputra basin in India(CRC Press, 2018-09-24) Navarun Varma; Hazarika, Sanjoy; Dr Navarun Varma; Residential College 4Climate change in this book is seen not only as an environmental problem but as a societal challenge too and as such discusses the governance issues from an interdisciplinary approach and across different scales: local, state, and national.
