The Himalaya is most vulnerable to climate change compared to other mountains and other parts of the globe. There are evidences that at least parts of the Himalaya are warming at a considerably higher rate than the global average. Almost 90% of Uttarakhand is mountainous and here people are dependent on natural ecosystems. The Government of India (GoI) has established two missions focused exclusively on the Himalaya, namely National Mission for Sustainable Himalayan Ecosystem (NMSHE) and National Mission of Himalayan Studies (NMHS) in continuation of the State Action Plan on Climate Change (SAPCC).
