Bhutan has three distinct climatic zones corresponding broadly to the three geographical divisions hot and humid southern belt, cool temperate central zone, and alpine northern region. The steep and unstable terrain and the relatively young mountain system, however, render the country to be ecologically very fragile. Agricultural production is also severely constrained, as only around 3% of the land area is cultivable. Bhutan is also endowed with a river system that has an estimated potential to generate 30,000 MW of hydroelectricity.
