The report looks at key climate change incidences in global and country level of Nepal and analyse their impacts on the livelihoods of the rural people of the country. This report tries to assess the climate change vulnerability to forestry and community level in rural setting of the country. Also, the report compile different concepts of vulnerability and adaptation to climate change and focus on the community based adaptation practices so far. More
importantly, the report documents the community based adaptation practiced by community forestry user groups and promoted by UK aid Livelihoods and Forestry Programme in Nepal.

I expect that the report is fruitful for development professional and researcher who work in forest resource management and community based adaptation to climate change. As the report document the best practices of community based adaptation in community forestry programme of the country, it seems effective to replicate the practices in other sectors and areas of community based natural resource management groups.
