Nepal: Climate resilient planning - a tool for long-term climate adaptation
This document presents a framework, methods and tools for integrating climate concerns into development plans and programs at the implementation level. It is intended to facilitate ministries, departments and development organizations in analyzing sector-specific climate issues with a greater understanding of climate variables at the local level and in adopting measures to reduce the emerging and anticipated climate threats which face development plans and programs.
This is part of an effort by Nepal's National Planning Commission to adopt a mechanism to screen development plans and programs and make them climate resilient. It envisioned integrating current and future vulnerabilities into the planning process, enhancing climate knowledge at the implementation level, and identifying areas for inter-sectoral cooperation aimed at building synergy in efforts to address long-term climate threats.
