Millennium Fellowship Project: Climate change and sustainability

The purpose of the project is to understand the impact of climate change on agriculture sector

of Hunza valley Gilgit Baltistan and how the climate has change the living standard of the

people. Communities living in Hunza Valley are agro-Based and depend on snow and glacier

water for agriculture and other domestic uses. The objective of the study was to know about the

perspectives of farmers that what issues they have faced after climate change and what are the

reasons of climate change. Temperature has increased throughout the year, winter has become

colder and summer becomes warmer than the past. The data was gathered from the farmers of

Hunza valley. In-depth Interviews were taken. The data was collected from the farmers of the

valley and the sample size of 10 respondents was taken from different group of people. In

addition to this the findings identify that the major reasons of climate change in Hunza Gilgit

Baltistan was the flow of tourism, deforestation and human activities which leads to climate

change. We have concluded that the land and its agriculture are being affected by climate

changes in different ways e.g., variations in annual rainfall, average temperature, heat waves,

change in weather patterns, floods, global change of atmospheric CO2 or ozone level. We human

beings are the climate change agent. We all have a responsibility to take care of our planet and

its resources.
