by Sonika Pariyar | 03-04-2020 15:32


Climate change is one of the popular topic that world has been discussing since long.Whole world is responsible for contribution of different green house gases that cause climate change.Our country, Nepal has been also contributing green house gases to atmosphere .Developing country like Nepal is more vulnerable to climate change .Everyone is talking about climate change but what are the evidence of climate change in Nepal?? Some of  evidence of Climate change in Nepal are listed below:

 

1. Rise in maximum temperature at annual rate of 0.04-0.06¨¬ C (MoE,NAPA).

2. High mountain are warming faster (0.08 ¨¬ C per year) than lower hill and the plains (0.06¨¬ C per year).

3. Nepal is responsible for only about 0.027% of global green house emission.

4. Nepal¡¯s temperature has increased by 1.8¨¬ C during last 32

years.

5. Of the roughly 198,000 glaciers on the planet, more than a quarter are

found in the Himalayas.

6. Many Himalayas glaciers are receding—and a new study of 32 glaciers around Mount Everest has found that those terminating in lakes have lost more ice mass than landlocked glaciers.

7.  studies show higher temperature increment for winter compared to monsoon season.

8. NCVST- higher increment of temperatures in western and central Nepal compared to eastern Nepal for year 2030,2060 and 2090.
