The Indian Himalayan highland is subject of
ecological and social alteration due to burgeoning population
and over-exploitation of resources. Being a fragile
ecosystem, mountains are more vulnerable to climate
changes and rising temperature which is higher than global
average by 0.74°C over the last 100 years. The main sources
of livelihood for inhabitant living in hills are agriculture,
livestock and forest produce. Shift in forest biodiversity
from broadleaf tree to pine tree, declining crop productivity
due to reducing soil fertility, outbreak of new pest and
disease and weather calamity under changing climatic
condition have posed some serious threat to food and fodder
security in Himalayan ecosystem. At this juncture, when
consequences of climate change are clearly evident, strong
mitigation and adaption strategies are needed to improve
livelihood resilience to climate change. Furthermore, these
strategies should be supported by policy and legislative
changes for their fair implementation in order to improve
overall resilience and sustainability of system to cope with
climate change.
