Report

It is anticipated that conventional agricultural practices do not warrant sustainable agricultural production under more extreme and potentially unfavorable climatic conditions associated with climate change. Therefore, organic agricultural practices are needed to enhance inherent soil fertility, to increase future agricultural production and local food security. The organic farming systems are supposed to be ecological friendly and sustainable under changing climate.

This paper (a) reviews an observed and perceived climate change in Nepal, (b) discusses impacts of climate change on ecosystems, biodiversity, agriculture and human wellbeing, and (c) offers, by drawing upon experiences of an NGO, Local Initiatives for Biodiversity, Research and Development (LI-BIRD), some community-based mitigation and adaptation techniques for curbing challenges resulting from climate change. The local level examples shared in this paper can be useful for other countries that share similar threats and sociocultural and political challenges.

This paper has been designed to provide basic overview on climate change issues and associated impacts. It has also tried to link role of renewable energy for building resilience capacity of the vulnerable areas and populations.

This report contains a set of maps and diagrams demonstrating the observed and projected climates of Nepal as country average timeseries as well as maps depicting changes on a 2.5° grid and summary tables of the data. A narrative summarises the data in the figures, and placing it in the context of the country's general climate. A dataset containing the underlying observed and model data for Nepal, is made available for use in further research projects at http://country-profiles.geog.ox.ac.uk/.

News of glaciers retreating in the high mountains of Asia has intensified concerns about impacts of climate change on the hydrological systems of central, south, and east Asia. The overall purpose of this review is to provide a summary of the scientific knowledge about glacier melt/retreat in the high mountains of Asia.
