 Good morning everyone. I am Anubha from Delhi and this paper was written for IPCCAR6 cross chapter mountains and it was written under a training for which six candidates from developing world were selected so Dr. Verozka who is here was one of the mentors and I got the opportunity to get trained from them and write this systematic review as a part of this training. So why are mountains important? They cover 25% of the land mass and 15% of the population live there because of their complex terrain and erratic climatic patterns. We have limited understanding of the processes which take in mountainous regions and because of all this adaptive capacities of the people living there are limited and because of this reason making adaptive strategies for these regions is difficult. So it's a challenge that you know because of the limited understanding of the region, their remoteness and we have to figure out which adaptations will work well and under what conditions. So here we carried out a systematic review where I included ultimately 84 papers and I saw that most of the papers were written by authors from Europe, Asia and US and the studies were mainly focused on Asia and South America and Europe and it was seen that all the regions of the world they are facing similar water related issues like there is unpredictability of precipitation, there are floods, there are hazards and cryospheric changes like there is glacier area change, there is increase in glacier lakes and there are changes in these snowfall patterns and the various activities the sectors are getting affected like the domestic users, agriculture, tourism and it was seen that because of all this the government and local communities both are involved in trying to implement adaptations to cope up with these problems and the main limitation for every region was their social conditions that how well they are ready to accept any adaptation and we saw that adaptations are being implemented in various sectors like infrastructure, energy, water storage, tourism and these strategies were related to like rationing, economic diversification, mobility and we saw that adaptations had various kind of effects on the regions they were not only positive, they were also negative and they were changing the social structure, the social conditions of the region and there were ecological impacts, positive, negative both for example in Europe to maintain the skiing grounds artificial snow is being spread so when you are making artificial snow it is putting pressure on the water resources so we saw that the adaptations they are structural and non-structural in their nature and like artificial snow making, improving water infrastructure covering snow with insulated material then agriculture modifications data collection they were structural adaptations and capacity building water pricing laws they were non-structural adaptation and it was seen that obviously Asia is very big so 15 popular adaptations were observed in Asia 13 in South America so I saw that in Asia artificial glaciers emerged as one of the most popular adaptation in South America the glacier protection laws was one of the most important one in Africa it was more about agriculture like crop diversification, economic diversification in Europe it was more about maintaining tourism and in North America they want to invest more in the funding in mountain adaptation programs and in Australia and New Zealand they were more about economic diversification motivating non-snow tourism so here we see that in all these regions we have different adaptations and they can be categorized into three major groups like policy and management infrastructure and capacity building and the main sources of uncertainty involved when you are formulating adaptation strategies like the climate data which is used to do impact modeling or projection then there are uncertainties that okay what is the snow variability what are really the impacts of the floods and because of the erratic behavior of the climate it is difficult to use the local knowledge of the inhabitants and it is difficult to take any strong decision so and obviously there is also scientific uncertainty which is associated with climate change so the main conclusions were that okay mountains are definitely facing water stress and number of adaptations are being implemented all around the world and in the developing world it's more about survival like they are trying to implement adaptations in agriculture sector and there is economic diversification in Europe and Australia it's more about maintaining the tourism sector again it is sort of maintaining the livelihoods and Africa it is more about the agriculture and the main limits to adaptation is that how well the people are ready to accept it there is misuse of the funds sometimes there is lack of interest in the government and there are lack of resources and there is lack of investment in the mountain programs and ultimately the main popular adaptations which were observed were related to water storage infrastructure, better agriculture and irrigation practices, economic diversification and improved water governance and laws thank you thank you
