water. The situation will further deteriorate in the future. It therefore poses substantial challenges for the implementation of the human right to food and water.

During the workshop the facilitator has presented about responding measures to address the impact of climate change by Reduction the amount of carbon and applying the adaptation approaches to reduce people's vulnerability to climate change.

Some of the visible observations expressed by participants are as follows-

2. Collect the name and practices of indigenous crop, grass, and plant species and local practices of storage, water preservation friendly to climate change adaption and documented for sharing.

3. Building awareness of local communities on climate change through incorporating climate change issue in their program and policy.

4. Influence local governance espicially DDC and VDC for incorporating climate change issue in VDC and DDC planning.

5. Influence VDC and DDC to allocate budget for implementation the climate change related activities as bio-engineering, environment conservation, skill development activities, promotion of indigenous means of livelihood of poor and vulnerable people.

6. Build effective information communication mechanism and increase access to government and non government institution for seeking adequate knowledge and skill on and about climate change issue. 7.

8. It has been decided that the existing RTF Network, and Food Security alliance should play role to promote, advocate and communication about climate change rather to form separate forum named NGO group for climate change. In this connection following organization in respective district will work as a nodal organization for NGO group of climate change as follows-

At the end of the workshop some key recommendation has been drawn out by the participants to promote climate change issue in future as a next step as described below-

G). Some recommendations by the participants-

1. Government policy and procedure is insufficient to create awareness on climate change and to address the effect of climate change- In the district climate change is as strange and there is absent of policy at local level hence it is greatly realized by the participants to influence local governance –VDC and DDC for incorporating this issue in DDC and VDC plan and policy. Li-bird needs to think in this area in future.

2. Limited or negligible information to government and non government organizations on climate change issue-Awareness raising and capacity building is the next key area for future focus. It requires great emphasis on training and workshop to government and non government organization especially local level service provider on climate change issue.

3. Civil society organizations have limited knowledge, skill and experience on climate change issue and there is no information and communication mechanism at local, regional and national level- This is glonbal issue, but there is very limited information available at local level, hence it is necessary to build, strengthen, and expanded the information communication mechanism at grass root level in order to update and increase basic knowledge on climate change and also need to adopted or apply mass awareness program through print and electronic media.

4. Needs to promote indigenous practices suitable or friendly to climate change.- Identify and promote indigenous practices or adaptation measures to climate change in each district as a trail project focusing on disaster management, crop production and capacity building aspect. And also need to collect data of seasonal metrological data in coordination with Metrology Office that may help for designing climate change technology. .

7

5. Local level research, observation and data collection needs to be conducted-There is very limited information about climate change issue available in the local area, there is only limited almost single NGOs in Dadeldhura, Baitadi and Bajura district have been initiated climate change issue if support to FAO. The community and civil society organization are very eager to learn more about climate change and are suffering from the effect of climate change in their cropping pattern, and livelihood activities. It is therefore, small scale trail, and collection of observation and feeling the change in the atmosphere-rain fall, and temperature needs to be documented and shared and also applied the local level adaptation measures as a pilot bases.

Thank you
