Climate Change Risk Perception, Adaptation and Mitigation Strategy: An Extension Outlook in Mountain Himalaya

Abstract

Climate change is becoming an ever increasing global threat which is difficult to ignore. The major underlying cause is anthropogenic, i.e. excessive use of fossil fuels, destruction of forests for industrialisation and urbanisation with rapid overgrowing population. The danger is such alarming that ecosystem will be irreversibly altered which will lead to suffering of human life by many ways. The overriding appearance of climate change is the increasing average worldwide temperature which is popularly called as global warming, and as a consequence several regions of the Earth are facing visible problems such as melting of glaciers, sea level rising, deviations in precipitation patterns and increase in plant diseases, and a number of bourgeoning challenges for public health are coming across by many nations. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, the Indian Himalayan ecosystem (IHE) is one of the extremely vulnerable zones followed by the coastal ecosystem towards the climate change in India, and as per projection the climate change will impart serious environmental, economic and social impacts of the Indian Himalaya agricultural production system. At this juncture, strong adaptation and mitigation strategy is needed for reducing the vulnerability of resource-poor hill farmers and sustainable development of the Himalayan ecosystem. Climate change adaptation involves holistic changes in agricultural and ecological management practices. It comprises a combination of distinct responses, the indigenous knowledge systems, alternative practices and accessible technologies. Adaptation policy should be taking into account the farmers’ perspective. In this piece of writing, the focus is to draw an outline of present condition and, furthermore, propose a strategy for effective adaptation and mitigation of climate change suited for Himalayan agricultural system.
