Download or read book Socio-Economic Issues of Climate Change written by Luni Piya and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book conducts a holistic analysis of climate change perceptions, vulnerabilities, impacts, and adaptation, based on the primary household-data collected from the Chepang community residing in the rural Mid-Hills of Nepal. Socio-economic and demographic data from the household survey is integrated with meteorological and spatial data to conduct an integrated analysis. Quantitative analysis is also supplemented by qualitative information. Given the context of ongoing climate change, the livelihoods issues of a highly marginalized Chepang community form the center-point of analysis. The book demonstrates that balanced assets possession is a prerequisite to strengthen the adaptive capacity of the households. Furthermore, the ability of translating adaptive capacity into adaptation actions is determined by the households’ ability to correctly perceive the changes and their access to various assets. The book recommends to ensure the availability of non-farm livelihood opportunities along with access to formal/vocational education and skill development training as these are the key factors contributing to reduce the vulnerability. The book concludes that mainstreaming of climate change into development efforts is a must for sustainable development.

Book Synopsis Regenerating Forests and Livelihoods in Nepal by : Brett Shapiro
Download or read book Regenerating Forests and Livelihoods in Nepal written by Brett Shapiro and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to capture the leasehold forestry experience, with a special focus on the Leasehold Forestry and Livestock Programme, which has been a critical part of the leasehold forestry experience in Nepal for approximately 20 years. It describes the origins and evolution of the various leasehold forestry programmes and projects that have been launched in the country, as well as their objectives, components and activities, and concrete outcomes and impacts. However, it also emphasizes the story behind the numbers and the individual lives that were impacted by the initiatives. Testimonies are a strong element of the book, as they reveal the on-the-ground results of the leasehold forestry experience. Testimonies come from programme, project and government staff and, most importantly, the farmers themselves. It is hoped that the information and the stories captured in this book will help practitioners and policy-makers in Nepal and in all countries affected by the same development issues to understand and draw useful lessons about leasehold forestry, and adapt, mainstream and scale up those elements of leasehold forestry that will promote sustainable livelihoods for poor rural people while preserving the extremely precious natural resource on which their lives and livelihoods depend.
Book Synopsis Perceived Impacts of Climate Change on Forests and Livelihoods in the Padampokhari Village on the Parsa Wildlife Reserve Buffer Zone, Nepal by : Pratibha Duwal
Download or read book Perceived Impacts of Climate Change on Forests and Livelihoods in the Padampokhari Village on the Parsa Wildlife Reserve Buffer Zone, Nepal written by Pratibha Duwal and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Livelihoods in rural communities in Nepal depend on the condition of local natural resources. Rural communities are especially vulnerable to climate change because of their ecological fragility and economic marginality, which in turn limit their adaptive capacity. There is a pressing need to understand the impacts of climate change and adaptation practices to sustain these communities. I interviewed a wide range of members and representatives in nine different communities with the goal of exploring the most beneficial adaptive strategies to sustain their livelihoods. I prepared a calendar of seasonal and community practices from discussions within nine focus groups and interviews of five key informants within each community. The findings indicate that most of the people in these communities do not understand climate change, but they have personally experienced changes in temperature, rainfall, available water sources, and the condition of agricultural and forest resources. These observations are consistent with documented increases in temperature and fluctuations in rainfall collected by Nepal's Department of Hydrology and Meteorology. Community members attributed those observed changes mainly to non-climatic causes such as emissions from a cement factory and acts of God. Changes in climate conditions have adversely affected their livelihoods by negatively impacting agriculture, water sources, forest resources and people's health. Local communities have started to adapt in their own ways, such as through the use of drought resistant crops, the diversification of occupations, and out-migration. This thesis concludes that the local awareness of changes in climate and the local initiation of adaptive measures demonstrate the receptivity by rural communities of more systematic efforts by the government of Nepal and non-governmental organizations to address climate change.
Book Synopsis Climate Change Impacts on Women of Central Mid-Hills of Nepal by : Rajendra Bhandari

This book was released on 2013 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women are most vulnerable and likely to suffer disproportionately from climate change in developing countries like Nepal since their livelihood is heavily dependent on resources like agriculture, water and forests which pose maximum threat from climate change.This report analyzed 31 years long data of temperature and precipitation recorded in the study site along with questionnaire survey to assess the condition women might encounter in the scenario of climate change. Moreover this report suggests viable ways to get rid-off from probable climate change impacts.
Book Synopsis Regenerating Forests and Livelihoods in Nepal by : Brett Shapiro

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a success story about a ground-breaking and innovative rural development operation in the Himalayan foothills in Nepal that made a real difference During a lifespan of 2D years, it transformed increasingly degraded land where farmers carved out a meager existence into a fertile and prosperous zone where they could thrive. The ingredients to the programme's success, from both technical and human perspectives, are described in this book and demonstrate people's extraordinary commitment in this country prone to natural disasters, including earthquakes. Spearheaded under the Roof of the World, the Leasehold Forestry and Livestock Programme teams worked closely with the local inhabitants, civil society and the government. The tasks ranged from bringing in cultivation techniques that protected the environment to introducing new local crops and goats to promoting an entrepreneurial spirit and marketing expertise Every intervention was carefully conducted to mitigate climate change and to help the most vulnerable farmers become more resilient to its effects as well as improving their family income. Farmers who took part in the Leasehold forestry programme speak candidly about how the initiative helped them to increase their production of tree crops and livestock without degrading the precious forest upon which their livelihoods depend. Time and time again, their testimonies bear witness to the importance of "inclusiveness" - ensuring that everyone in their community, especially women and young people, take part in every aspect of the learning and the doing. The forest was allocated to communities with 40-years renewable leases and then restored by the Leasehole Forestry programme staff and villagers to create viable and sustainable incomes and reduce poverty. The result? The dramatic "greening" of once barren lands, abundand harvests and new products, a higher standard of living - in short a better life and one that holds great promise for the generations to come.

Book Synopsis Forest Management in Nepal by : Ian Hill
Download or read book Forest Management in Nepal written by Ian Hill and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests play a vital role in maintaining Nepal's impressive biodiversity, which has global significance: With only 0.1 percent of the world's total area, Nepal contains 2 percent of the planet's flowering plants, 8 percent of its birds, and 4 percent of its mammals. As Nepal develops its forest resources, it needs to minimize the biotic pressures affecting the structure and dynamics of forest plant communities and wildlife populations and thereby reverse the current destructive pressures on the country's biodiversity. The study aims to provide a better understanding of the ways in which forest resources are used in Nepal. Its focus is to examine systematically the costs and benefits of present and possible future sustainable and biodiversity-friendly management practices from household, national, and global perspectives. The authors define the analytical framework and the costs of financial and economic alternatives. They also present the economic, social, institutional and legal issues, and recommend strategies for change. The report should be of use to national and donor agencies concerned with the management of natural resources and conservation of biodiversity in Nepal, providing a framework for possible future donor support to the sector. It highlights issues that are of importance in the formulation and implementation of natural resource management programs by government and non-government agencies.
