Contribution towards developing a roadmap for biodiversity and climate change: Indian part of East Himalaya [1]

The report considers diversity of biological components, including wild and domesticated, social and ecological systems prevailing in the NE States of India and provides insight on hitherto underexplored biological resources with potential role in food security and the improvement of rural livelihoods towards adaptation to changing climate. The broad challenges, opportunities and possible priority areas of action have been described for the target region. Also, the major commitments of India towards maintenance and sustainable use of biodiversity and addressing the issues of climate change have been highlighted.Recommendations and suggestions have been drawn on the basis of the existing state of knowledge for the Indian part of east Himalaya, for consideration of inclusion in the regional roadmap.
