Strengthening climate resilience in mountainous areas
Mountainous areas are at the forefront of climate change. This working paper presents
approaches to strengthening the resilience of human and natural systems in mountainous
areas against the impacts of climate change. Chapter 1 provides an overview of climate-related
hazards to ecosystems and communities in mountainous areas, especially in developing
countries, and their exposure and vulnerability to those hazards. The chapter then
examines various ways governments and development co‑operation providers can strengthen
the climate resilience of mountain communities and ecosystems. Chapter 2 presents
the case of the Indian state of Uttarakhand.
