基于社区的气候变化适应方法与高海拔Garhwal喜马拉雅山脉Bhagirathi地区的生计安全

Community-based Approaches to Climate Change Adaptation and Livelihood Security in the High-Altitude Bhagirathi Valley of Garhwal Himalaya

位于Garhwal喜马拉雅山的Bhagirathi(HA-BV)谷地是一个生态和文化重要性极高的地区,但当地居民的生计容易受到气候变化的影响。基于社区的气候变化适应方法(CB-CCA)已成为一种增强地方社区的经济和社会福祉重要策略,并提高了社区发展的韧性。本文旨在研究HA-BV地区的CB-CCA和生计保障计划,关注应对气候变化所面临挑战的策略。研究认为优先考虑适应该地区崎岖的地形和恶劣的天气条件的可持续生计选择至关重要。例如,与山谷独特的土壤和气候动态相适应,推广温室种植和农林复合种植等替代农业,可能会带来较好的结果;此外,鼓励养蜂、手工艺和生态旅游等替代生计途径不仅可以创收,还能保护该地区的自然环境。为了鼓励当地居民实施这些环境友好的生计措施,政府和利益相关者需要进行战略性投资,基础设施的完善(包括道路建设和电力供应)可为经济增长创造良好的条件。研究结果可为喜马拉雅山地区的可持续发展做出贡献,为类似情境下未来构建气候韧性和保障生计的努力提供参考。

The High-Altitude Bhagirathi Valley(HA-BV)in Garhwal Himalaya is a region of significant ecological and cultural importance,which is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.Community-based approaches to climate change adaptation(CB-CCA)have emerged as an important strategy to build resilience and sustain the local community's economic and social well-being.This paper aims to examine the CB-CCA and livelihood security initiatives in HA-BV,focusing on the strategies implemented to address the challenges posed by climate change.The paper analyzes the successes and challenges of these approaches and contributes to the discourse on sustainable development in the Himalayan region.The study findings can inform future efforts to build climate resilience and livelihood security in similar contexts.This research demonstrates the potential of CB-CCA to enhance the adaptive capacity of vulnerable communities and provides insights into the co-benefits of sustainable development and climate resilience in HA-BV.
