| Sumario: | This report documents and analyses emerging trends in the delivery and exchange of
climate information in institutionalized agricultural extension systems, as well as through
information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D) efforts that have a
rural–agricultural focus. Such an analysis aims to give a clearer indication of how to best
direct potential future investments in sharing climate change information with noninstitutional
stakeholders.
The analysis covers four countries across the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP): Bangladesh, India
(Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal States), Nepal (Terai
Region), and Pakistan (Punjab Province). The critical potential impacts of climate change
across the IGP include drought, flooding, glacial lake outburst floods, and variability of river
runoff and coastal salinity.
