Nepal: Priority framework for action: Climate change adaptation and disaster risk management in agriculture
The Priority Framework for Action (PFA) addresses the impacts of climate change and extreme climate events in various sub sectors of agriculture in Nepal. This document explicitly integrates the priorities of the National Adaptation Program of Action (NAPA) and the National Strategy for Disaster Risk Management (NSDRM), which opens a multiple avenues for technical cooperation to implement the immediate actions of climate change adaptation and disaster risk management.
This framework lays out activities for achieving the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) and several other climate change related priorities outlined in the first national communication to UNFCCC and NAPA. The PFA considers an integrated approach by considering short-term (disaster response), short to medium-term (Disaster Risk Reduction) and medium to long-term (climate change adaptation) priorities.
