@article{94, author = {Sujatha Byravan}, title = {Climate Policy and the Poor: Some Perspectives}, abstract = {Abstract The article explores the effects that India s climate policy will have in the context of the country s existing development problems. India is expected to face severe challenges as a result of climate change and these will disproportionately affect the poor and the most vulnerable. The country s current climate policies nevertheless adopt an approach that seems unlikely to improve conditions for the poor, unless it shifts from a top-down, growth-oriented strategy towards prioritizing access to basic goods and services as a primary policy goal.}, year = {2014}, journal = {Environmental Justice}, volume = {7}, number = {5}, pages = {142-145}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1089/env.2014.0011}, doi = {10.1089/env.2014.0011}, }
