About this ebook

South Asia constitutes a key geography in the world today considering its large population and related daunting energy and environmental challenges. Many countries in the region are faced with a growing gap between energy demand and local resources, resulting in an increased dependence on imports. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the energy demand in South Asia will grow at a rate more than double that of the world average in the coming decades. This book addresses the critical subject of energy and environmental outlook for South Asia and presents the wider challenges and the responses at the national and regional level.

  • Discusses and addresses the ongoing energy and environmental challenges faced by almost a quarter of the global population
  • Includes dedicated chapters for each country and presents analysis and recommendations by regional experts
  • Examines how deteriorating air quality and persistent natural disasters are severe environmental challenges for the region
  • Discusses the implications of global warming and climate change for South Asia
  • Includes practical case studies throughout

It will help countries in the region and also those around the world by learning from shared experience, and ideally by collaborating for energy and environmental prosperity.
