Climate change troubles, then teaches resilience to locals of Nepal’s Himalayas

Tashi Gyatso Gurung from the village of Dhye in Upper Mustang is not home. Due to the negative effects of climate change , Gurung is 12 kilometres away from Dhye in a place called Thangchung. Having lived in Dhye for most of his life, Gurung and most of the locals in Dhye have had to relocate due to reasons out of their control.

“Water sources have dried up. There are no green pastures for animals to feed on and the land has also become barren. We have no other option but to move,” says Gurung.
