Climate Change and Its Impact on the people of Nepal

Abstract

Nepal and its people are in danger due to climate change. There are 14,253,551 men (48.87
percent) and 14,911,027 women (51.13 percent) among the 29,164,578 people living in the nation. Nepal is exceptional in terms of biodiversity due to its climate, which varies from subtropical to tundra within 150–200 miles. Climate change is having a greater influence on the area's
biodiversity, from plant germination to communities that have been living in different climatic
zones. The main objective of the research is to ascertain how the general population views the
consequences of climate change. The study used a mixed methodology, and information was
gathered from people living in different climate zones using Google Forms. There were 16 variables to identify the concept and impacts of climate change. Altogether, 29 people responded.
The responses were transferred to the sheet and fed to SPSS to analyze the data. The analysis
found that 100 percent of respondents knew about the issue of climate change and its impacts in
different sectors. The average mean found was 1.9025, which indicates the load value of the
Likert scale given 1 to the largest scale and 5 to the lowest scale, which indicates 1.9025 < 2.
The result found was less than 2, indicating that climate change has heavily impacted the people
of Nepal. Industrialized and industrializing countries are responsible for increasing the surface
temperature of the earth; their responsibility is to maintain the earth's temperature below 1.5
degrees C, and they should support the developing countries to prepare the people to cope with
the rising temperature, including their capacity building.
