 Okay. Good morning and chairperson. So I'm going to present the Climate and Impact Adaptation Practice and Policy in Nepal. I'll focus on Nepal, what they have, the local adaptation practice and impact as well as the policy adopted by the government. And this presentation I have to focus one part mainly about the impact and adaptation and another part is to review the policy in the present Nepal government policy, what are the policy and the gap. So I have divided the two parts for this presentation. And then you know we are the very small and then a country in between the India and China and but we are the very much highly vulnerable countries because when they have the report that Nepal is the fourth most vulnerable country attribute to the high exposure because we are in the high mountain we have the more than 0.06 degree temperature raise annually as compared to the global it is very high as well as we have the high sensitivity because the fragile the geology and the steep slope with the mountains and then we have the low adaptive capsidum most of the because we have many people are poor and difficult to assess and difficult to adaptation practice low technology. So although these are the we have the suffering from this impact but although we like less developed country like Nepal we emit very low negligible amount of the this greenhouse gas but we have the impact is the we are the more. So in the short situation a mystery of environment government Nepal also projected we have the different time frame that the increasing trend of the temperatures and then when the ultimately temperature increase there is the impact on the high mountain of the snowfall and releasing the glacier melting and releasing the high volume of water or the very well in the precipitations. So let's let's see the temperature we agree all we in the from yesterday we talked about the temperature increased all over the world and we have the in the Nepal we have to since last 1975 2006 we have also increased point zero to zero point zero four annually and also twenty two thousand six is the warmest year in this records. So additionally in the talk about the precipitations present also the highly variability because we are the time though we are the below the 70 meter altitude to the 8000 meter so we have the very high of variations. So in such a situation we have the precipitation also variability and mainly the they have the trend observation shows that the high precipitation with the short periods and also there is the change in the monsoon season to the shift from the early to June to the delay to the in the August similar to the last presentations and also the pressure the intensity is high and the winter rainfall is the low these are the reported in the last this couple of years and also in such a situation in the temperature and precipitations as the the variability which also helps to impact on the this poor community because they are the very low resilience in the climate wrecks. So in such a situation we have done about the these local impact and adaptation practices from the local community as well as the institutions local institutions and also review the policy and practices to implement the adaptations and mitigations. So there are the two objectives we have selected and these are the study area this we call the Narayani basin one of the big what said and it linked from the high mountain across the Himalaya region also we call the near the Tibet sites these are the all the border of the Tibet to the the this is the border of the India so we we transit from from the both high mountain to Tarai so link to the India and Tibet both so these are the study site there the high mountain and the mid-mountain these are the mid-mountain air sites and this is the yellow part is the Tarai the low border of the India. So for this study we have done the different primary data collections from the particularly in dialogue interaction with the local estate holder with the government and non-government as well as some key informant and district level technicians as a national level policymakers and also review the on these documents policy. So these are the some slides where we talk about this interaction with communities, household survey and council meetings. So let's talk about the result and discussions and I have divided that mainly the impact in the two area because there are the national government has divided the six impact area from the adaptations document national plan of adaptations but I choose only the two agriculture and water resources for the these studies and then because agriculture is the main component and more 80 percent farmers are cultivating in the crops so that I choose the major impact on the agriculture and agriculture relate to the water resources. So I have chosen the two impacts and these are the farming in the mountain farming and if they these impact particularly the water will be stress or the too much then ultimately it suffer whole the livelihood of the more than 80 percent community of the mountain communities. So these are the our mountain terrain then the this impact mainly the precipitations the uncertainty of precipitations mainly impact of the maize in the summer crops and also peri for the wind even the rainy season crops and also winter wheat legume and mustard they have the major impact on the production of agriculture crops even the wind the delay or the low rainfall during the winter it also impact the wheat wild crops and rip mustard so and then it ultimately increase the food insecurity in this regions so these are the some impact again in the we talk on the high mountain they have the range land or grassland they cultivate they raise the their livestock but due to the low rainfall in the the semi-arid region in the near the 3-beth in Plato and they left due to the low grass productions they they'll shift the livestock farming and then they move the other parts as well as sometime untimely precipitations in the recent of years they have also changed the cropping patterns and also change the farming even the maize germination is delayed so they change the other but there are some positive impacts in the high mountain because they have the good apple farming and all apple and in the high altitudes because the in the past that they have the low quality but now the temperature increase in the high mountain that good quality in the apples as well as orange in the mid mountains so there are some pictures about the drought and then the another one is the we have talked about the impact of the waters water mainly we have the either too much water in the rainy season and no water in the winter season so there are the major problems for us because either we have the in the too much that the flooring landslide and erosions and then dry during the winter and then no crops so these are the major challenging for us and then so this committee has explained during the last few years low snowfall and high rainfall in the high mountain there is also low snowfalls and also but intense the change the snowfall to the rainfalls in the some area and then they are the distopped to the household with the Moria also the damage and some and also they have reported so in in such a case at the high mountain committee reported that it was good snowfall in the high altitude but 2 to 3 feet in the past but now it disappeared and negligible amount of snowfall in the high mountains and then these also notice the spectral change the surrounding in the last couple of decade and that all used to be snow covered but now they are the barn and dry so these are the major challenges and there are also local people about the water sources from the mountain as also dry and stream flow also decreased but the it should be further discussed because either the decrease of water source might be human or deforestation or the climate change we have to need to further research so there are some adaptation practices I talk already that the now in the high mountain due to the rain or grassland as the decrease due to the no snow falls then they shift the reduce the livestock numbers and change the occupations in the high mountain and even the mid mountain and then for I they are also adapted some as the community first also one of the best examples in the South Asia as the leading in the Nepal which has also resilience to the managing the resources not only the but also the waters so come to first also one of the best examples and also they have adapted salt sopping I got land technology for the mountains and agroforestry also practices and there are others practices like the vegetable farming as a crop diversification and then also irrigation facilities so my farmers and conservation pond and some there I mountain they have in the some project area they have drip irrigation also adapted and also there are the traditional water resting pond and then planting the these bloom grass in the high mountains in the steep land as conservation so these are the some practices now I talk with the policies and the major policy we have the last 20 years from the Rio genera 1992 the Rio 20 plus in the 2012 there are the 20 years we have the experience of the this policy on the relative climate change but there are other policy before all in Nepal also about the environmental perspective but in 20 years we have the this climate change policy and initiated in Nepal and I will not go so in 1992 they have the interest in the climate from the environmental policy in the Rio 2 January to the in 2012 we have again to Nepal policy program focus on the climate change integration so there are the 20 years of experience of the climate change policies and but last 2009 10 and 11 there are the more milestone for the implementing the climate change policy so in 2010 then Nepal has endorsed the national adaptation plan of action to the climate change as well as in 2010 Nepal has started the red initiative for the implementing for benefiting for the global carbon fund and also in 2011 climate change policy has endorsed from the government nepals and also in even the 2000 level Nepal endorsed the local adaptation plan of action so there are in 2009 10 11 12 there are the more milestone for the policy initiative in Nepal's and overall that is Napa we have the national plan of national adaptation plan of actions Napa highlights three area for the national development these are poverty reductions liability improvement and building resilience and these are the major guidelines which helps to minimize the vulnerable to the poor people by doing these activities let's talk about the we have the Napa also Napa also the very good in the papers but we have the so 80 percent of the budget goes to the local levels from the these are the some highlights and also these are the main streaming for the development so these are the some initiated for the climate change in the Napa and there are the this is the framework i'll not explain but there are the bottom up approach it focus on the bottom up and participating and to link from the environmental assessment to the planning to the national levels now talk about the we have the some practice with the not in the policy but also there are the local or community adaptation plan also adapted from the government not the government but with the different project like the dfID supported LFP and key project and these also they make the some community and they have the annual and five year plan for the adaptation policies but there are some i'll highlight some things about the there are the these constitutions even the third interim plan also focus on the climate change as a major agenda and we have to integrate all the in the policy and programs for the development so that impact will be minimized and also there are the low carbon emission development path and deforestation and then there are the developing the low methane emissions there are also some policy highlight but there are the i'll not go to these things so there are the some positive for the bottom up approach integrated approach these are the some and then ensuring the participation and then poverty reductions and managing the national agenda so these are the some highlights so there are the gaps so the if in the paper there are very nice and document but the main problem is the there you know capacity for the this implementing the programs how it works and it gives for the local community but local community has no no capacity even the no institutions even the no government has able to induce the programs if even that if there is a budget but there is no implementing mechanisms so paper is there but we have the major challenges to the how to reach these things so we have to the target is the questionnaires so but there are in some government district level office they have done about the some practice like the soil conservation programs early wiring system program in some NGO and different and district forest office this illegal office they are doing these things for the adaptations so you finished okay thank you
