“…Three case studies have been selected from secondary sources (Maharjan & Joshi, 2013;Macchi et al, 2011;Kerr et al, 2006;Torres, 2012), representing mountain communities' livelihood and vulnerabilities to climate change, land tenure security and whether there is any adaptation plan. We assessed each case study to identify the stakeholders, the experienced impact for each stakeholders such as the impact of climate change on the communities and their environment and the experienced impact in the adaptation process, the roles each stakeholder played, the stakeholders' responses to and their limitations in the process of adaptation to climate change.…”

“…Third, climate change adaptation strategies and plans at community level are described, and the needs are identified at community level with the implications for the mountain communities. Fourth, three case studies derived from secondary sources (Maharjan & Joshi, 2013;Macchi et al, 2011;Kerr et al, 2006;Torres, 2012), representing mountain community climate change perception in Nepal, mountain community conditional land tenure system in Indonesia and mountain community value chain in Peru. Then, a Mountain Community Adaptive System (MCAS) is developed based on a conceptual framework at different scales.…”

Mountain communities are vulnerable to diseases, malnutrition, and insecurity of land, which may lead to losing shelter and livelihood. This paper reveals that the current way of living of the mountain communities is unsustainable and vulnerable, and there is a lack in improving their adaptive ability for climate change adaptation. In order to understand how to improve the adaptive ability of the mountain community, this research makes a critical analysis of three case studies in Nepal, Indonesia and Peru. The results indicate the importance of geo-information as services or products at each scale ranging from global, regional, national, state/province, community to individual. The aim is to emphasize on access to geo-information that helps reduce the community vulnerability by providing a more effective adaptation program. Here we propose a framework for a Mountain Community Adaptive System (MCAS) which establishes the relationships between the vulnerability, livelihood and climate change adaptation.
