Warming Himalayas putting rural communities under risk

Carbon emission produced by the developed nations has robbed the smile of the Himalayas. Temperature rise in the Himalayan region has brought drastic impacts on crop yields, water shortage and snow melting, pushing rural villagers to the edge of consequences. Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world, with around 31 percent of its population of 28 million living below the poverty line. Its diverse topography, fragile eco-system and extreme poverty make it vulnerable to the negative impact of climate change, despite, having one of the lowest emissions in the world of 0.025 percent of the total global Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Implications of the climate change to the fragile mountain ecosystem, fresh water, and extreme weather events, agriculture, human health and others are taking its toll where the people living in the selected ares are facing serious problems. The report 'Even the Himalayas have Stopped Smiling Climate Change, poverty and adaptation in Nepal' claimed that changing weather patterns had dramatically affected crop production, leaving them unable to properly feed themselves and getting into debt.The developed nations should take responsibility for the degradation of the climate in the developing countries and further emmisions with regard to the standards set according to future agreement. It is very important that the voice of Himalayan region in the coming Copenhagan global climate treaty by late December will be more reasonable developed nations should further help in assisting the most impacted countries with posible resources including technological transfer and take proactive measures to adapt and mitigate the climate change...!!!
