Climate Change Hits Mountain: A Thakali Farmer’s Perspective from Nepal

This film captures a Thakali farmer’s ground realities and the concerning impact of climate change on his crops, livestock and ability to develop resilience in the face of multiple risks from policies, geographies and identity as an indigenous person.

The film was part of the monitoring visit of the project entitled “Building Resiliency of Indigenous Communities on Climate Change Adaptation.”
