NISAR stands for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, indicating that it will primarily use SAR technology for its advanced Earth observation capabilities.

NISAR is a collaborative Earth-observing mission between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States.

NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) is designed for advanced Earth observation, specifically using dual-frequency radar imaging to study Earth's surface, natural hazards, and climate change.

Achieving ambitious emission reduction targets requires significant international cooperation, financial investment, technology transfer, and policy coordination, which often face challenges.

Net Zero Emissions means achieving a balance between the greenhouse gases put into the atmosphere and those taken out. It does not necessarily mean zero emissions, but rather that any remaining emissions are offset by carbon removal.

The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015 under the UNFCCC, is the primary international treaty that sets goals for limiting global warming and requires countries to submit Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for emission reductions.

Climate change, environmental degradation, and natural disasters significantly impact agricultural productivity and food availability, exacerbating hunger and food insecurity, and are recognized as root causes.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations is the specialized agency that leads international efforts to defeat hunger and improve nutrition and food security.

The UN Security Council resolution emphasizes the need to prevent the use of food and food assistance as a weapon in armed conflicts and to ensure unimpeded access to food for civilian populations.

The ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific (AOIP) aims to promote peace, stability, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region through open dialogue, cooperation, and adherence to international law, aligning with India's own vision for the region.
