Nepal is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, which is negatively affecting agricultural production and food security. However, the role of agro‐ecological zones and social groups in climate change adaptation (CCA) and its impact on smallholder farmers in Nepal remains unexplored. To fill this gap, this study aimed to identify th...

Nepal belongs to the top four most vulnerable countries to climate change. It is at high risk due to the country's fragile topography, climate-sensitive and subsistence livelihoods of the people, and low adaptive capacity. Glaciers and mountain snow are melting more rapidly in Nepal, which increases the risk of GLOF, landslides, and floods. The stu...
