Abstract

The Tharu people of Nepal have a longstanding knowledge of their locality and its patterns of weather and agriculture. The impact of climate change severely affects their livelihoods. The aim of this study is to document the perceptions of the Tharu community of Kanchanpur District in
Nepal in regard to climate change and its impacts. We have generated primary data by household survey, focus group discussion, key informant interview, and field observation.
