Geographical Barriers
What actions has the government taken to improve the circumstances?
A very common example is the launch of National action plan on climate change (NAPCC) on June 30, 2008 which describes the following missions that will help improve the geographical conditions
National Solar Mission
National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency
National Mission on Sustainable Habitat
National Water Mission
National Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Eco-system
National Mission for a Green India
National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture
National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change
These missions were planned to have a good impact on the geographical aspect of India to be particular, and it has been somewhat of a success. With that it definitely comes with some kind of criticism from the society.
It has played a major role in introducing market-based policies such as the PAT(perform, achieve and trade)
Development of partnership at a national and international level
While the NAPCC has a wide range of plans there isn't any structural format for the action to be taken
Some of the missions are very broad which doesn't allow one to have a fixed goal
Lack in human capital and expertise
Weak monitoring systems
How has it affected the developing countries?
The geographical barriers and locations of these countries play a huge role in their development:
1). Bad barriers cause some countries or regions to be landlocked from major word markets and resources. Causing them not be able to get them as flying or shipping them will be quite expensive for the developing countries.
2). It creates a trap for the poor. Due to the extremely huge income inequality the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, causing the poor which make most of the population to live in extremely less-favored areas. The land there would have poor soil and difficult terrain. Leading to bad health conditions, overall dirty place and the unskilled or poor population(which can't contribute to the GDP) increasing.
3). They can't export their products as well. Due to them being totally landlocked and some not even having ports to the sea. Transporting and sending their products worldwide would cost and ungodly amount causing the demand for them to reduce and hence the price and supply would fall. So, the country would not gain money or funds to develop
4). With bad barrier comes bad infrastructure. Due to the bumpy and difficult terrain, the foundation or building often are not he most structurally strong. Plus, as mentioned before, they will not even be able to get enough funds to make it strong.
What is a geographical barrier?
A geographical barrier is a very common issue that all three types of countries face; developed, developing and underdeveloped countries. This type of barrier refers to the nature; things such as water bodies, mountains, canyons and climatic differences are a part of these barriers which don't allow a country to grow and develop.
