Mountain people already live in a fragile landscape. Their marginalization makes them even more sensitive to environmental degradation. Practices in farming and grazing that enabled people to thrive in the past may not continue to be effective as ecosystems degrade, population dynamics shift and a rapidly changing world puts pressure on communities.
Supporting mountain people in adapting to rapid and unpredictable change is an important area of work for ICIMOD. Researching and piloting programs on high value products, innovative livelihood options and rural income generation strategies lie at the heart of efforts to help the people of the Hindu Kush Himalayas cope with the effects of socioeconomic and environmental change.
Reducing poverty and improving the environment must be linked together if the livelihoods of mountain people are to be sustainable for the future.
A comparison between male and female population residing in the Koshi Basin Districts in various parameters revealing the trends in marriage, population, life expectancy, migration, ethnicity and other parameters.
A comparison between male and female population residing in the Koshi Basin Districts in various parameters shows more male population who have higher literacy rate, higher rate of land and house ownership, involved in higher income generating jobs as well as 76% of men are also head of household compared to female despite the fact that there are equal population women and men.
Bangladesh is one of the most flood affected country in the world. The frequency, intensity and duration of floods has been increased during last few decades. Due to increased population settlements in floodplains and irregular development damage of infrastructure, crop and property has increased creating severe impact on lives and livelihood. Understanding the severity and identification of extent and types of flood damage is highly important to plan effective response. The aim of this study was to develop appropriate methodology to determine extent of flood and damaged areas in near real time basis to support operational response. We have used Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images to generate flood extend data for the year 2017.

Monitoring agriculture from space means looking at the green-ness to estimate how much photosynthesis is occurring on the ground. By comparing the recent vegetation conditions with the long term average, anomalies are determined to predict the increase or shortfall in the production
