The analysis reviewed the context of climate change and agrobiodiversity in Nepal. It identified knowledge gaps, existing community based adaptation strategies, stakeholders’ perspectives, recommending short and long term adaptation options to enhance and strengthen adaptive capacity of the poor, marginalized, and vulnerable communities of Nepal from the potential impact of climate change.
