Unfortunately, the body of emperical evidence around impact of CC on specific gegraphical locales is either lacking or is sketchy in nature.Lot more therefore, is needed in terms of investment in CC research for collective good.Research studies at graduate & postgraduate level can have dedicated CC related research programs. In this way a core human resource can be developed that can lead the change management under CC at global, regional & national level(s).
