Climate Change Effects and Mitigation Measures in Uttarakhand Himalayas Region

One of the biggest environmental issues affecting the world's natural ecosystems is climate change. Based on the literature that is currently accessible, this article offers a succinct summary of how the Uttarakhand Himalayan Mountains' agriculture, water, and 15.61% forest are affected by climate change. Numerous research have been conducted on a variety of Himalayan ecosystem-related topics, but only a small number of local studies have been published that address factors connected to climate change. This is mainly because there is a dearth of organized and targeted data on the subject. Thus, the qualitative analysis shows that in order to meet the demands of research on many elements of climate change impacts, mitigation, and adaptation, it is imperative to strengthen the climate data gathering network. Over the last four decades, this region has been found in soil water content reduce, total precipitation and run-off, land-used change due to urbanization that are challenges for both community and government to mitigate and adaptation.
