STORYLINE
As world leaders meet this week at COP 27 to negotiate new deals on lowering emissions to mitigate against the effects of changing climate, some countries are feeling particularly hard hit.
Nepal as a nation doesn’t emit the greenhouse gases many countries do around the world yet Nepal ranks in the top 10 most at risk from the effects of climate change
Farmers in the country have found nature-based ways to adapt. A simple farming technique is transforming the fortunes of farmers living there and it can be found in their own backyard.
