Mr. Durga Prasad Upadhyay
Environment and Climate Change Advisor
Mr. Durga Prasad Upadhyay is the Environment and Climate Change Advisor at CCFRY. He has been engaged with climate change adaptation works for the last eight years working for INGO based in Nepal. "Global warming is disrupting the regional climate parameters such as rainfall (monsoon rain in South Asia and winter rain in western Nepal), snowfall and temperature in the highlands of Nepal which have impacted mostly the local survival means such as water sources, agriculture, forest and wild herbs. Therefore while devising and implementing the local adaptation plan of action it is vital that the poor local people are resourced with financial and technical inputs compatible with the local context and ensure that local people's meaningful participation is there including women and indigenous communities, and climate change policy need to be framed and amended accordingly", says Mr. Upadhyay.
