      abstract = {This volume analyzes ecological and socio-economic risks  due to climate change in the Himalayan mountain ecosystems,  communities, and proposes adaptation strategies and  sustainability practices. In order to better understand the  potential actions required to improve natural resource  conservation and the development of mountain people's  livelihoods. The authors discuss the current status of  local knowledge system on various environmental aspects of  conservation and sustainable use of mountain resources in  the Himalaya. The book addresses the institutional  capacities, gaps, and priority areas of capacity building  to strengthen policies and governance in regard to climate  change, landuse management, biodiversity conservation, and  sustainable management in the Himalayan region. The aim of  this book is to enhance coordination building among  policymakers, planners, mountain communities to foster  collaboration between different stakeholders by  understanding local perceptions of climate change as well  as variability issues, and establishing adaptation  strategies to cope with these impacts. The chapters  incorporate theoretical and applied aspects, and may serve  as baseline information for the sustainability of mountain  ecosystems through the contribution of multidisciplinary  and interdisciplinary expertise from the Himalayan region.  The book will be useful for students, teachers, and  researchers working in different areas pertaining to  mountain ecosystems, as well as policymakers and planners  working on issues related to the sustainability of the  mountain ecosystem.},
