Background
Overview
UPSC emphasizes India's foreign policy, regional relations, disaster management strategies, and the role of international cooperation in addressing global challenges.
Cross-border disaster management involves coordinated efforts among neighboring countries to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters that transcend national boundaries. Given the interconnectedness of ecosystems and river systems, particularly in regions like the Himalayas, effective regional cooperation is crucial for mitigating shared risks and ensuring timely humanitarian assistance.
