Abstract
This paper presents climate change adaptation strategies applying by the rural people living around Chedaguard Municipality ward no. 6 of Jajarkot district. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used in the survey and further data were obtained through focus group discussions, case study and participant observations techniques. In doing so, the fous was given to agriculture based livelihoods including forest, water resources, health sector, energy and natural land reform practices. Likewise, changing pattern of rainfall, temperature, humidity were analyzed. Existence of new diseases on agriculture, water resource dryness, forest degradation, forest fire, etc. has been explored resulting with degradation of agricultural production and productivity To adapt from the climate change of this impact, local people have been using Jeevatu, Sisnu, Titepati, Banmara, Khirro, etc. as a bio-pesticides. Similarly, people have used improved cooking stoves to protect forest and they have done plantation to overcome the water resources scarcity.

Climate change adaptation is an opportunity for social reform, for the questioning of values that drives inequalities in development and our unsustainable relationship with the environment
“Climate change refers to a change of climate that is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and that is inaddition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods (UNFCCC)
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, 1992) in article-1 defines “climate change” as: “a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods.”
Summary
Climate change adaptation is an opportunity for social reform, for the questioning of values that drives inequalities in development and our unsustainable relationship with the environment. According to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), “Climatechange refers to change in the state of the climate that can be identified by changes in the mean and/or the variability of its properties and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or longer” It means changes in climatic pattern in extended period of time of particular geographical area due to natural as well as anthropogenic activities. “Climate change refers to a change of climate that is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and that is inaddition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods (UNFCCC). United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, 1992) in article-1 defines “climate change” as: “a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods.”
