Climate Change, Migration, and Conflict in South Asia : Rising Tensions and Policy Options across the Subcontinent

This report is the third in a series of papers from the Center for American Progress that examines the implications of the climate change, migration, and security nexus. Our analysis highlights the overlays of these factors in key regions around the world and suggests ways in which U.S. policy must adapt to meet the challenges they present. This second regional report builds on the foundation provided by our framing paper, “Climate Change, Migration, and Conflict.” Our first regional report focuses on the implications of these trends in Northwest Africa, already one of the most volatile regions in the world.
