Abstract

The nexus between land use and climate change is a critical aspect of sustainable development, and few places show this inter-relationship better than Nepal. This paper uses Nepal as an example to explore the interconnections between land use and climate change, highlighting the key challenges and opportunities. Nepal, with its diverse topography and ecosystems, is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The country’s unique land use patterns, including agriculture, forest cover, and urbanization, play a significant role in shaping its climate resilience and carbon balance. This paper highlights the complex relationship between land use and climate change in such an environment. Balancing land use practices, conserving forests, and biodiversity, and promoting sustainable agriculture are essential for achieving climate resilience and sustainable development. The paper shows that only by addressing the nexus between land use and climate change, can Nepal move towards a more sustainable and climate-resilient future.
利用尼泊尔了解气候变化和土地利用的关系
土地利用与气候变化之间的关系是可持续发展的一个关键方面,很少有地方能比尼泊尔更好地显示这种相互关系。本文以尼泊尔为例,探讨了土地利用与气候变化之间的相互联系,强调了关键的挑战和机遇。尼泊尔地形和生态系统多样,极易受到气候变化的影响。该国独特的土地利用模式,包括农业、森林覆盖和城市化,在塑造其气候适应性和碳平衡方面发挥着重要作用。本文强调了在这样的环境中土地利用与气候变化之间的复杂关系。平衡土地利用做法、保护森林和生物多样性以及促进可持续农业对于实现气候适应性和可持续发展至关重要。该文件表明,只有解决土地利用与气候变化之间的关系,尼泊尔才能走向一个更可持续、更具气候适应性的未来。
