Nature : As a result of climate change, the Himalayas are getting warmer, the monsoon season is getting wetter, and the winters are getting drier. Nepal and India have been particularly hard hit. During spring of this year, Nepal suffered a severe drought that killed off many of its crops and caused a food crisis. In June, intense monsoon rains damaged property and killed more than 5700 people in India. To help the residents of the Hindu Kush Himalayas adapt to the environmental changes brought on by global warming, the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development , based in Kathmandu, has launched a three-year study to assess the current situation and make recommendations on how to protect and develop the region.
