Summary

This is a research report on the Impacts assessment and climate change adaptation: Strategies in Makawanpur District, Nepal. The report discloses the climate change impacts developing countries, hindering their efforts in poverty reduction and sustainable development. These changes result in increased climate risks, such as more severe extremes and erratic rainfall, affecting livelihoods, assets, infrastructure, and economic growth. Nepal is particularly vulnerable, with diverse impacts observed from the Himalayas to the lowland plains. The study examines these impacts, especially drought and desertification, which harm agriculture and food security. It also notes increasing flooding trends. Local communities are implementing adaptation strategies and tree planting to combat climate change. Capacity building and knowledge transfer are crucial for managing current and future climate risks and integrating climate risk management into development plans.
