Subject covered in this book are of multi-characteristics and interdisciplinary viz .Impact of climate change in Jhuming the traditional agriculture among the tribal regions of Manipur, Botanical garden network ,coastal  stability, water resources of islands, remote sensed data and extreme weather conditions, global temperature variation and monsoon, mitigation , policy aspects and so an. Basic information and data on the impact of climate change on physical, biological and geological systems are an important characteristics of this book. It suggest mitigation and adaptation from basic units of society viz. family / household level. This book is a significant contribution to regional climatic trend and responses from climatic data sparse Indian subcontinent.
