A new Himalayan crisis? Exploring transformative resilience pathways

Abstract: This paper demonstrates that a new crisis has emerged in the Himalayas in recent years, as five decades of well-intentioned policy responses failed to tackle escalating environment and

“…This lack of understanding of intersectionality is important as it has a direct bearing on the adaptation capabilities of high mountain communities, where it is apparent that many are indeed struggling to adapt to different climate and non-climatic changes (McDowell et al 2014). Several studies from the HKH have highlighted the hegemonic role of state actors (Gergan 2017) which marginalizes the views of indigenous and mountain people and the overly biophysical narratives and solutions that further undermine the complexity of environmental issues in the region (Satyal et al 2017). However, these views are not integrated in most of the case studies.…”

“…Increasing marginalisation is compounded by higher-than-average temperature increases being observed at high altitudes during the past century, with negative implications for food security and ecosystem services (IPCC 2014). Subsequently, larger numbers of males migrate over increasingly larger distances and longer periods, seeking waged employment in towns and cities, leaving behind women, children and elderly people who are less physically capable to manage smallholdings (FAO 2015;Satyal et al 2017). Women undertake the primary responsibility of producing livelihoods, tending to crops, livestock and the family, and collecting fuelwood (Gururani 2014).…”

“…Considering PIFs under Social Well-Being (SW)-Access to development facilities (ADF: 72%), and Inclusive growth (ING)-loaded strongly on PC1 reflected importance of access to basic health, local market, and market information facilities. Strengthening these factors would play an important role in mitigating farm challenges related to out-migration and farm abandonment [38]. Likewise, PIFs under Adaptive Features (AF)-Agrobiodiversity, Community Skills and Practices, and Risk Mitigation Mechanism (RMM)-all loading positively on PC2 highlight PIFs that help mountain farming community's deal with issues on crop-livestock loss, market failure, and crop depredation.…”
