CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE HIMALAYAS- NEPAL

During the last 25 years, Himalayas have witnessed warming about three times faster than the global average temperature, including increase in average annual precipitation and annual mean temperature by 6.52 millimeter and 1.5 degree Celsius per year respectively. The study which covered around 90 percent of the total Nepal Himalayas was based on the satellite imagery from NASA. For the first time this study has documented climatic and phonological changes at the landscape level in the Himalayas.
