Abstract

The concern of climate change have emphasized in the field of economics too owing to the challenge of adapting to global warming for sustainable development and growth. This challenge becomes central in the developing economies like Nepal as these countries face the combination of unfortunate geography, agro-based economy and low efforts from government and private sectors to mitigate the direct and indirect impacts of climate change. In this paper, it conducted a quantitative modeling of climate change and its impact to the agricultural value addition taking into consideration of annual series of agricultural gross domestic product (AGDP), rainfall, temperature, seeds and fertilizer distribution data for the 36 years ranging from 1975-2010 in Nepal.
