Nepal: How the people of Nepal live with climate change and what communication can do

Abstract

Climate Asia is the world's largest study of people’s everyday experience of climate change. The project surveyed 33,500 people across 7 Asian countries, including 2,354 households and 20 opinion formers and experts in Nepal. Twelve focus group discussions and 5 community assessments were carried out across the country. The research was conducted from May 2012 to March 2013 across all Nepal’s ecological and developmental regions. This included a nationally representative survey conducted during July and August 2012. Climate Asia recorded the opinions, insights and needs of the population, more than 70% of whom live on less than $2 (£1.30) a day. The report concludes by highlighting how the information, insight and tools generated by the Climate Asia project can be used to communicate with other audiences
