In recent years the population of Hindu Kush Himalayas (HKH) has been confronted with rapid social, economic, demographic, and political changes. addition, region is particularly vulnerable to climate change. However, there a scarcity cohesive information on state environment socio-economic situation approximately 210 million people who reside in HKH. Specifically, data livelihood vulnerability are lacking. As part Himalaya Climate Change Adaptation Programme, International Centre for...
Climate change has negative consequences for the biophysical environment and an observable impact on flows of ecosystem services. Considering high relevance services, it is imperative to analyze present status services flows, effective planning cope with natural anthropogenic catastrophes. It equally important identify drivers resource deterioration. In a study conducted among 545 randomly selected households in 91 villages along altitudinal gradient (<1200 m asl (zone A), 1200–1800 B),...
The global climate is showing altered temperatures and precipitation levels. Forests can be a stabilizing force in change. They regulate the nutrient cycle, protect species diversity, support livelihoods that drive holistic growth. Presently, forest ecosystem’s capacity to withstand change being undermined by rate of change, along with anthropogenic pressures specificities mountainous regions. Here, we attempted design ‘forest vulnerability index’ using field measurements household surveys....
Background: The livelihood of mountainous communities Himalayan region closely knotted with forest related activities. However, degradation especially fire significantly affects the and hence, there is an urgent need to describe, evaluate understand specificity areas fire. Methods: In this view, a study on vulnerability High Altitude Zone (HAZ) Low (LAZ) was assessed Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI). It uses 35 indicators, reduced six components create overall index. Each component...
Socio-ecological systems have increasingly faced climate-change impacts, which adversely affected the lives and property of inhabitants. The present study aims to prioritize adaptation actions along an altitudinal gradient (<1200 m asl (Zone A), 1201–1800 B), >1801 C)) in Pauri District, Uttarakhand. A cross-sectional survey research design was employed action from 545 randomly selected households 91 villages. multi-disciplinary bottom-up indicator-based approach applied identify...
Micro level socio-ecological vulnerability assessment to climate change has a paramount significance in defining climate-risks, identification of site-specific sectoral remedial measures and fabrication adaptation actions. Cross-sectional survey research design been employed examine the extent 492 randomly selected households 62 villages along an attitudinal gradient (<1200 m asl (zone A), 1201-1800 B), >1801 C)) Pauri District, Uttarakhand. Among systems, highest was recorded socio-economic...
