Pioneering Perspectives on Global Warming and Agriculture

T. Jayaraman

Review of Agrarian Studies, 2023, vol. 13, issue 02

Abstract: It is well known that the issue of climate change played a central part in M. S. Swaminathan’s vision of ecological sustainability. His continued and intense interest in mangroves and coastal protection in the light of sea-level rise, developed over the past 30 years at the M. S. Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF), reflected this aspect of his vision. However, what is perhaps less well known is that Professor Swaminathan (henceforth MSS) was one of the pioneers in evolving a global perspective on global warming and anthropogenic warming and their impact on human society, especially with reference to agriculture. MSS also specifically contributed to the early development of the two key multilateral initiatives that shape the global response to the climate challenge today, namely the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
