South Asia's Hotspots: The Impact of Temperature and Precipitation Changes on Living Standards

South Asia is particularly vulnerable to climate change. Most previous studies have focused on the projected impacts of sea-level rise or extreme weather - droughts, floods, heatwaves and storm surges. This study adds to that knowledge by identifying the impacts of long-term changes in the climate – rising temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns – on living standards. It does so by first building an understanding of the relationship between current climate conditions and living s...
