Case study Gender and climate change in the Hindu Kush Himalayas of Nepal

Summary

Climate change is already affecting people’s livelihoods and food security. The poor are the most vulnerable because they do not have the necessary reserve of assets to adapt. Development interventions will have to address individual and collective capacity to adapt to climate change, such as expanding information networks and communication infrastructure, building capacity for decision-making, and increasing the security of people’s assets.
