“…Jita and Tandrang Takshar seen equal in 2016. Exposure of a locality to long-term changes in climate variables and occurrences of natural disasters is the most important component to determine the overall vulnerability of the locality [33]. However, biophysical elements determining the exposure like temperature, rainfall and natural disasters are beyond the immediate influence of the policy makers.…”

“…Peoples' perception of climate change, covering all the ecological regions of Nepal, is not well documented, and most previous studies have concentrated on specific locations in Hill and Mountain regions, with limited attention given to the Terai region [31,32]. The recorded rates of warming in the Himalaya are significantly higher than the global average [33]. In Nepal, the indicator method had applied for assessing the vulnerability to climate change [34][35][36].…”

“…Nepal is experiencing higher rate of climate change [37][38][39]. The analysis of temperature shows a trend of warming by 0.4°C-0.6°C per decade [33,40]. Climate change had been observe more severely in Hindu Kush Himalayan region including Nepal [41][42][43].…”

Climate change vulnerability has need access to targeted scientiﬁc information about the impacts of climate change in order to adapt to its effects. Awareness can be measured through three different parameters-conceptualization, engagement and experimental. This research has conduct in Lamjung district where people are victimize from climate change. Primary and secondary sources of data are used. This study used household surveys and focus group discussions to assess people perceptions of these changes and identify the climate change vulnerability. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the Lamjung districts, vulnerable in the context of the climate change. This result is useful for policymaker, local government and different stockholder who are working on climate change sector. It is also important for long term changes in climate variables and occurrences of natural disasters is the most important component to determine the overall vulnerability. Climate change vulnerability had been decreased considerably in this study area. Meanwhile, long-term research in Nepal is required for extensive work on climate change and primary data collection for climate change vulnerability assessment.
