*Abstract*
Even as the scientific evidence of climate impacts grows more alarming,
global climate negotiations remain at a stalemate. What explains this
stalemate, and what can and should India do about it, at both global and
domestic levels? This talk introduces a recently published Handbook of
Climate Change and India, designed to represent a wide range of debates
around climate change in India. A strong theme in the book is the need to
develop and act on the idea of "co-benefits" as a way of mainstreaming
climate change. To do so, however, involves a broader approach to climate
change, as a problem of development, politics and governance.
