“…The altitudinal range of the study sites varied from 500 to 4400 m asl. The tree-ring studies were mostly restricted to the montane and sub-alpine forests found below the tree line (Sano et al 2013;Krusic et al 2015;Dorji et al 2016;Dukpa et al 2017;Wangchuk et al 2018, Shah et al 2022. Only a few studies were conducted from locations above the tree line (Sano et al 2013;Khandu et al 2022a,b), and few studies in the south-central broadleaved forest (Nado 2013;Tenzin et al 2017;Nidup 2021).…”

When it comes to the impact of climate change, Bhutan is one of the world’s most vulnerable countries. Although Bhutan has not contributed anything to cause climate change, it is facing the brunt of it impact. Bhutan’s climate is strongly influenced by the rugged mountainous terrain surrounding it as well as the Indian summer monsoon and changes in climate, which are increasing the vulnerability of vital economic sectors such as agriculture, forestry, and water resources. Climate change also impacts the country’s rich biodiversity and fragile community livelihoods through the increased risks of hazardous events such as glacier lake outburst floods, flash floods, droughts, and forest fires. This chapter analyses the impacts of climate change on agricultural livelihoods and associated internal human mobility. Despite being a small country, Bhutan has been doing its best to adapt to the impacts of climate change, but its topography and inadequate resources due to the small economy have been constraining Bhutan's developmental philosophy of Gross National Happiness and its achievement of its global sustainable development goals.
