Climate Change has major challenges for the present global phenomenon. Wide spreading this idea produce sense for the global community as well as south Asian Countries. South Asia is a reign which occupies only 5 percentage of world landmass. But More than 1.7 billion populations live in this region. That’s the 20 percent of total world population rise expected 25 percent by 2025. Over the years, south Asian countries strongly face climate-related hazard including cyclone, droughts, flood, extreme temperature growth, storm surges and others Climate related issues. Climate does not follow such nationalistic rule. Therefore, combined efforts are essential to protect such disasters. Regional arrangements or collective effort may face climate change challenges. Though The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) has taken some initiatives, more concrete and coordinated actions are necessary to face the calamities of climate change. This paper will examines initiatives of South Asian Countries on climate change issue and tries to recommend what further steps they can adopt in this regard.
