This
paper highlights the potential impacts of climate change on three of the
LDCs in South
Asia- Bangladesh
,
Bhutan
and
Nepal
. The paper describes climate change including the changes in temperature,
distribution of rainfall, sea level rise, and an increase in the frequency
and intensity of extreme weather events in these countries and these
events will have the damaging impacts on water resources and agriculture
which are the major sources of employment for all three countries. The
paper also focuses on some prospective adaptation measures and strategies
for the region to lessen the impacts of climate change, variability and
extreme events aiming at creating an urge to the governments and donor
agencies to recognize the threat of the impacts to development prospects
in
South Asia
especially in the LDCs.
