Shrinking Himalayan glaciers could threaten Indo-Pak border.
New Delhi: UN environmentalists have warned the Indian subcontinent is at risk of conflict, even war because of global warming.
According to the UNEP's report, shrinking Himalayan glaciers, shifting monsoon patterns and rising seas along the coastlines could create millions of refugees.
They could threaten the borders between India and Pakistan and India and Bangladesh.
Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal landed in Bali on Monday. Sibal will offer India's commitment to cut greenhouse gases but not at the cost of industrial growth. India is expected to make its case on December 12.
