Environmental sustainability and protection are of global concern. Starting in 1992, climate change became an issue of considerable concern for Nepal. Global circulation models predict that the average temperature in Nepal will increase by between 0.5ºC and 2ºC by 2030. This will have widespread implications for Nepal, causing impacts to water availability, agricultural production, forestry, among many other detrimental effects. However, given the high rate of poverty in the country, available funds are targeted to rebuilding economy and infrastructure, while costly adaptations to climate change is not prioritized.
