Abstract

Climate change significantly impacts food security in Nepal, particularly affecting animal health and agricultural performance. The climate change related changes are affecting the Himalayan microclimates which has a bearing on crop suitability, productivity, and yield. With over 80% of the population relying on subsistence farming, emergencies exacerbate hunger and force negative coping strategies like forced migration and resource disputes. To safeguard livelihoods and promote self-reliance, it’s crucial to implement locally-tailored and integrated crop- and livestock-related crisis responses.
