The non-traditional security threats in the form of incessant floods, cyclones, and all-time rising sea levels in the Indo-Pacific region call for an integrated and constructive response led by a climate leader. Climate change is seen way beyond the lens of a mere environmental catastrophe having the potential to destabilize a nation's economy and polity. The global state and non-state actors have acknowledged climate change to be an alarming global security threat. However, the failure of collective management of the climate crisis has mandated a responsible climate leader to monitor the mitigation efforts. In the context of initiatives like the National Solar Mission that envisages India to be a 'global leader in solar energy,' the paper intends to weigh the possibilities for India's role as a cogent climate leader in the Indo-Pacific region. It seeks to evaluate India's climate leadership based on its green policies and assistance to Indo-Pacific countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
