    • Assessing vulnerability of climate variability change in Agriculture
    Assessing vulnerability of climate variability change in Agriculture
    From :

    Climate change has affected millions of people around the globe. Nepal is highly vulnerable to climate change. At least one water-related emergency occurs each year during Nepal's annual monsoon season, sometimes when communities are still recovering from the effects of the previous disaster, thus increasing their vulnerability. Though Nepal contributes very little to total global GHG emissions, agriculture (54% of total emissions) and energy (28% of total emissions) were the primary sources of emissions. Within the agriculture sector, livestock (76%) and rice production (14%) activities have a higher share of GHG emissions. However, there is no organized study in Nepal on agricultural emissions and their impact on the agriculture sector. Agriculture contributes to climate change mainly through methane and carbon dioxide emissions and plays a crucial role in mitigation through carbon sequestration through plant biomass and soil carbon fixation. This project aims to monitor CO2 emissions in rice cultivation and carbon sequestration by fruit trees. Weather-based agro-meteorological advisories provide cumulative information about weather forecasting as well as related agriculture management practices. Open-top chamber (OTC)-based research helps estimate the performance of crops under elevated temperatures.
