The adaptation plan of the PAs of Bhutan draws inspiration from the Climate Change Policy of the Kingdom of Bhutan (2020) which envisions to have “a prosperous, resilient and carbon neutral Bhutan where the pursuit of gross national happiness for the present and future generation is secure under a changing climate”. The PAs of Bhutan constitutes ~51% of the total area of the country which is crucially important in achieving national goal of conserving 60% of Bhutan’s land area under forest cover and in fulfilling national commitment to remain carbon neutral for all times to come. The PAs of Bhutan supports livelihood of ~12,000 rural households who also plays vital role in ensuring the conservation of Protected Areas.
