Food security in Nepal is highly sensitive to climate risks. This report presents the finding of analysis carried out to find the relationship between climate variables and food security indicators. The analysis has three main objectives:(1) to identify spatial and temporal relationships between food security and climate variables by correlating, on the national and sub-national scales, the long-term data series of food security indicators (crop yields, food prices, livestock product output) and climate parameters
(precipitation and temperature); (2) to establish a vulnerability baseline in order to assess the factors that render a household vulnerable to climate variability; and (3) to identify a set of key policies to build adaptive capacity and reduce climate-related food insecurity in the most vulnerable communities.
