SOCIO-ECONOMIC ISSUES OF CLIMATE CHANGE - LUNI ...

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.
