Industry-Nepal

The industry sector in Nepal is very undeveloped. Early industrial ventures, spurred by domestic shortages in the 1930 and 1940, fared badly due inexperience. By 1960 there were 63 registered industries,unsupported by adequate institutional organization or infrastructure. With the influx pf foreign aid targeted at both the industrial sectors and the transport and communications infrastructure, a mix of modern industries and cottage industries slowly developed, numbering 3,557 institutions by 1997. they are small by international standards. Industrial activity, accounting for about 21 percent of GDP, employs only 3 percent of the population. most of these industries are located around urban centers such ads the Kathmandu Vally and in the Terai region.

Nepal suffers from a lack of both internal external investment. This stems from low domestic savings, a small domestic market, a severe shortage of skilled labor, chronically corrupt and inefficient public administrations, high transport and operating coasts, the inadequacy of power resources and, increasingly, political instability. There have been recent attempts to encourage investment and privatization through the industrial policy 1992 and foreign investment and one window policy 1992, and the creations of industrial centers with government land and buildings on lease for private ventures.

The forum has urged the government to review the budget since it is not in the interests of consumers.

Effect of climate change in Nepal

Rural Nepalese already living poverty are expected to face more intense rainfall, leading to landslide and flood; failed winter wheat crops due to warmer, drier winters : widespread food shortages caused by change in monsoon rains and disrupted planting seasons; diminished hydro-electric supply ; increased prevalence of malaria, leischmaniasis, cholera and typhoid; and mass migration of rural farmers searching for work to feed their families.

'Communities told us corp production is roughly half that of previous years. Some said that while they used to grow enough for one month of the year,last year many could only grow enough for one month's consumption,said Oxfam's Nepal country director, Wayne Gum.' poor farmers relay in rainfall. They farms small areas of land which, at the best of times, can barely produce enough food for the family.

Nepal is extremely vulnerable to climate change yet has one of the lowest emissions in the world just 0.025 per cent of total global greenhouse gas emissions.

The melting of the Himalayan glaciers will also be felt well beyond Nepal's borders. Scientists warn that if the Himalayan glaciers disappear with some predicting this could happen within 30 years the impact would be felt by more than one billion people across Asia.
The impact on riverine communities would be catastrophic and could affect up to 500 million in South asia alone.
Currently, more than 3.4 million people in Nepal are estimated  to require food assistance, due to a combination of natural disasters, including last year's winter drought - one of the worst in the country's history.
