Climate change is a hot topic in Nepal now as studies show that many people in the country are facing hunger due to frequent droughts and melting glaciers are also threatening millions. The country heavily depends on tourism and agriculture to sustain its economy and climate change could seriously hurt these two sectors.“Changing weather patterns have dramatically affected crop production in Nepal, leaving farmers unable to properly feed themselves and pushing them into debt”, Oxfam, non-governmental organization working in Nepal, says in a report. The effect of climate change on Nepal’s agricultural sector warrants immediate attention. Late monsoon will decrease agriculture production, which is the backbone of the economy and more than 70 percent of the population depend on it for living. This will also have a huge impact on economic growth rate and per capita income.Climate change is also having serious impacts on Nepal’s unspoiled Himalayan mountain range and the surrounding communities. The Himalayas are the highest mountains of the earth. They are also one of our planet’s greatest fresh water reserves in the form of glacier ice or snow. As a result of warming caused by global climate change there is increased in glacier melt. And the rate at which Himalayan glaciers are retreating is a compelling evidence of global climate change.
