Nepal is bearing the brunt of climate change, with its challenging terrain, fragile topography, and reliance on subsistence agriculture amplifying the impact. Rising temperatures, melting glaciers, and an increasing frequency of natural disasters are posing threats to the environment, society, and economy. At the grassroots level, the situation is even more dreadful, as people struggle without the necessary resources and economic support for adapting to the impacts of climate change.
“Climate Window” seeks to shed light on these critical issues by exploring the effects of climate change both nationally and locally. Through blogs, research, and infographics, we aim to raise awareness, share adaptation strategies, and address the gaps that need to be filled. This initiative paves the way for building a climate-resilient society, ensuring that every individual impacted by climate change receives the support they need to combat its challenges and contribute to meaningful climate action.

Consequently, migration has emerged as both a coping mechanism and a pathway to find stability. Arriving in Surkhet, the market hub’s fast-paced development and the overwhelming presence and influence of development agencies highlighted the region’s growing external interventions, particularly in the agricultural sector.
