[31] [32] Due to the dependency of Fiji's rural population on natural resources and small-scale farming, Fijian agriculture is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events, rainfall and temperature variability and sea level rise resulting from climate change, all of which erode Fiji's long-term food security prospects.
Nepal landscape. Adaptation to climate change in the agricultural sector and allied sectors is a major current and future challenge for Nepal. [27] The majority of the population is still dependent on highly climate-sensitive sector like agriculture.
Climate change is projected to lead to an increased number of warm days and nights, hotter temperatures and increased precipitation. [66] Sea level rise and saltwater intrusion will be major issues for the islands [66] and climate change will have major impacts on agriculture in the country. [67]
Out of 2.7 million hectares of agricultural land in Nepal, only 1.3 Mha have irrigation facilities. The majority of irrigation systems are small and medium-scale. [3] A recent study funded by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) revealed that about 0.8% of agricultural GDP is being lost annually due to climate change and extreme ...
In the 2020 edition of Germanwatch's Climate Risk Index, it was judged to be the ninth hardest-hit nation by climate calamities during the period 1999 to 2018. [11] Nepal is a least developed country, with 28.6 percent of the population living in multidimensional poverty. [12]
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6th assessment report finds that the "Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU)" sector on average, accounted for 13–21% of global total anthropogenic GHG emissions in the period 2010–2019. [4]
As waters warm and storms become more intense, some of Fiji's fisherwomen are making about half as much money as they used to – for more time spent working out at sea. Climate change is "eroding ...
Global map of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including agriculture and land use change, measured in carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale. [2] This is a list of sovereign states and territories by per capita greenhouse gas emissions due to certain forms of human activity, based on the EDGAR database created by European Commission.
