Working with developing countries - India
India-UK collaboration on impacts of climate change in India
Defra funded a collaborative project with the Indian Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF). The project involved eight Indian institutes that were working to assess the impacts of climate change on sea level variability, water resources, forests, agriculture, health, energy, industry and transport infrastructure.
The research programme included the sharing of knowledge through technology transfer and capacity building - for example, with developing country scientists working with UK research institutes, such as the Hadley Centre (part of the Met Office).
