First, write a summary of the particular case study which you examined in detail. Next, complete one of the following two assignments.
1-Pretend you are writing a research proposal for an NGO or university. Propose one aspect of the impact climate change is having in India which you would like to investigate. Be specific, list particular places or regions of India in which you would like to conduct your research. Give facts and details about the situation and explain why you think it is a valid research subject, creating/finding graphs and maps to help support your proposal. Describe your proposed method for research; is it data analysis or field work, quantitative or qualitative, or both?
2-Pretend you are a delegate from India at the next round of climate change talks hosted by the UN. Prepare a presentation of your findings, as well as the findings of other case study research, about how climate change is impacting India. Be specific, describing actual case studies. Create/find graphs and maps to help support your presentation. Additionally, research and present some of the things India is doing to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Also, research and present some of the things India is doing to adapt to climate change on the national, regional, and local level.
