Summary/Abstract: Few regions are more environmentally insecure than South Asia. The region faces rising sea levels and regularly experiences coastal flooding – of particular concern in a region with heavily populated and arable land-rich coastal areas. Additionally, it is highly vulnerable to glacial melt. The Western Himalayas, which provide water supplies to much of South Asia, have experienced some of the most rapid melt in the world. Natural resource deficiencies are stark as well.
