Climate change


Climate change 
Climate change is the biggest emerging environmental challenge to date. Increasing scientific evidence, including the highly acclaimed fourth climate change assessment report by the Intergovernmental Panel for
Climate Change (IPCC), has reaffirmed that the earth’s atmosphere is already saturated with greenhouse gases, and that additional emissions will lead to disaster on a global scale. Several basic indicators in our surroundings, such as steady rise in temperatures, increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and growing weather or climatic uncertainties, show the collective effects of these changes. Climate change impacts lives and livelihoods, particularly of economically poor and climatically sensitive countries like Nepal.
