Climate change is any significant long-term change in the weather of a region (or the whole Earth) over a significant period of time. Climate change is about abnormal variations to the climate, and the effects of these variations on other parts of the Earth. Source: Wikipedia Global warming is the ongoing rise of the average temperature of the Earth’s climate system and has been demonstrated by direct temperature measurements and by measurements of various effects of the warming.
Tackling climate change is part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Nepal is also working towards achieving the goal. Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) has developed Climate Change and Health web portal. Its main aim is to provide a gate way to access information as well as search, analytical and communication center for the target users.
