“…21-23). However, the developed nations and their negotiation blocs practiced climate diplomacy in an effort to shape international negotiations based on their priorities and in contrast, developing nations such as least development countries (LDC)have often lacked to actively engage in climate diplomacy, which result into limited influence in shaping negotiations (Jallow and Craft, 2014, pp. 1-2).…”

Purpose International climate politics are gradually changing in terms of new and ground-breaking policies and decision-making spearheaded by national governments. The growing global demand to combat climate change reflects the current challenges the world is facing. India’s negotiations at United Nations Conference on Climate Change are based on “equity,” “historical responsibility” and the “polluter pays” agenda, until a shift in the voluntary reduction of carbon emissions takes place. The purpose of this study is to understand why India, a “deal breaker”, is seen as a “deal maker” in climate governance? Design/methodology/approach For a state like India, domestic preferences are equally important in introducing climate policies alongside its concerns over poverty reduction and economic development, which also stand with its sustainable development goals. This paper explains India’s decision-making using a two-level approach focusing on “domestic preferences.” This rationale is based on India’s historical background as well as new upcoming challenges. Findings This paper shows that India has both the domestic needs and long-term benefits of combating climate change to cut carbon emissions, which gives the responsibility primarily to domestic audiences and international societies. Originality/value This paper uses an international political lens to critically analyze India’s climate positions and politics from both domestic and international levels, demonstrating the importance of considering both short- and long-term goals. The outcome benefits not only the policymakers in India but also stakeholders in the Asia-Pacific and beyond.

“…Such p o s s i b l e adaptations are based on experience, observation, and speculation about alternatives that might be created (Carter, 1996); they cover a wide range of types and take numerous forms (UNEP, 1998). For example, possible adaptive measures for health risks associated with c l imate change listed by Patz (1996) appear in Table 18-2. Similarly, in coastal zone studies, comprehensive lists of potential adaptation measures are presented; these adaptations include a wide array of engineering measures, improvements, or changes, including agricultural practices that are more flood-resistant; negotiating regional water-sharing agreements; providing efficient mechanisms for disaster management; developing desalination techniques; planting mangrove belts to provide flood protection; planting salt-tolerant varieties of v e getation; improving drainage facilities; establishing setback policies for new developments; developing food insurance schemes; devising flood early warning systems; and so forth (Al-Farouq and Huq, 1996;Jallow, 1996;Rijsberman and van Velzen, 1996;Teves et al, 1996;Mimura and Harasawa, 2000). In many other sectors and regions, arbitrary lists of p o ssible adaptations are common (Erda, 1996;Iglesias et al ., 1996).…”
