In 2009, renewed clashes between Maoist groups and the Nepalese put an end to the few years of peace and hope of economic growth and strengthened democracy in Nepal. Up to half of the Nepalese population lives below the poverty line, and the country is severely affected by climate change in the form of changed rainy seasons and glacier melt in the Himalayas.
