Professor Shammin published his latest book Climate Change and Community Resilience: Insights from South Asia in October 2021 - co-edited with A K Enamul Haque, Professor, East West University, Bangladesh, Pranab Mukhopadhyay, Professor, Goa University, India, and Mani Nepal, Programme Coordinator, SANDEE/ICIMOD, Nepal. The book contains 29 chapters documenting the myriad of ways community-based climate change adaptation and resilience programs are being implemented in South Asian countries. The narrative style of writing enables the book to be accessible to diverse audiences from academics and researchers to practitioners in various governmental, non-governmental, and international agencies. South Asian countries have been dealing with the impact of climate change for decades and thus offer valuable learning opportunities for developing countries within and beyond the region as well as many western countries that are confronting the wrath of climate-induced natural disasters more recently.
