Abstract

Climate change has severely compromised the livelihoods of people that are overwhelmingly dependent on the natural environment, particularly those in developing countries that are usually the least able to cope with the associated social and environmental risks (Pant, The Journal of Agriculture and Environment, Future of Food: Journal on Food, Agriculture and Society 5:9–19, 2012; Evans et al., Glob Environ Chang 25:69–75, 2014; Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 2014; Poudel et al., Sustainability 9:641, 2017).
