SaciWATERs is convening a Panel on “Policy Perspectives: Coastal Resilience & Livelihoods in South Asia”, to be held as part of the 5th India Public Policy Network Conference which would be held in person from 06–08 December 2024 at the Ashank Desai Centre for Policy Studies, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay). The theme for this edition is Policy Processes in the Global South. This panel aims to address a notable gap in policy discussions by focusing on coastal governance in South Asia, a critical yet often overlooked aspect of policy discourse in the region. Coastal policy plays a vital role in shaping resilience and livelihood opportunities, particularly in the face of increasing climate challenges.
