Re-arranging the response to climate change impacts in Nepali agriculture
The FAO has focused its efforts and resources to addressing issues stemming from climate change in Nepal in order to cope with the changing situation and build resilience capacity into adaptation to climate change.
Poverty and hunger are the two faces of the same coin. Being one of the least developed as well as landlocked countries, Nepal has been facing double trouble owing to various reasons. The limited fiscal space does not allow the nation to go the whole hog in tackling an unfavourable food security system. The situation is further aggravated after natural calamities such as climate change impacts and the recent outbreak of the pandemic have pulverised our agriculture and economy.
KATHMANDU, May 21: A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Ministry of Forests and Environment and World Food Programme (WFP) was signed Monday for the food security and agriculture projects targeted on communities vulnerable to the climate change impacts.
