This study aims to analyze the level of understanding about climate change among
the Nepalese youth. Perceptions regarding the knowledge about climate change,
climate change indicators, impact made by such change, government intervention
and various climate change policies were investigated. The exploratory survey was
conducted with the help of self-administered questionnaire. A total of 954 youth
studying at the different levels were selected purposively from about 2 dozens of
schools and colleges that represent 4 different Universities, Higher Secondary and
Schools in different areas of Kathmandu Valley. Both descriptive as well as
inferential statistics were applied to analyze the data. The logistic regression model
was used to test the hypothesis. The model prepared 5 different hypotheses to
identify the actual level of youth understanding about climate change. The study
results that 98% youth are aware about climate change. Similarly, the logit model
revealed that youth are well aware of climate change since factors like study level,
age, gender, formal education about climate change, participation in various climaterelated
training, climate change talk on family and society, access to mobile phone
and use of mobile phone for climate change learning are found to be statistically
significant at desirable probability level. However, in spite of youth awareness on
climate change, still, they are unknown about the coping strategies such as
adaptation and mitigation implemented by the government. It indicates government
should transmit similar information via all possible channels to the youth so that the
plan and policies that are related to climate change can be successfully implemented.
