Nepal pursues a locally-led adaptation approach to implement climate plan

Changes to vegetation, ecosystemsm and the environment have been noticed at every level and in every region across Nepal. With these climate hazards, Nepal recognizes the importance of integrating climate action into agriculture and land use sector for more resilient agriculture systems.

 

Nepal partnered with the FAO-UNDP Scaling up Climate Ambition on Land Use and Agriculture through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and National Adaptation Plans (SCALA) programme, funded by Germany’s International Climate Initiative (IKI) for support in its climate action activities.

 

The SCALA programme sat down with Mr. Sanjeev Karn, the SCALA Focal Point from the Joint Secretary, Food Safety and Food Technology Division at the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development to learn about how SCALA will support Nepal initiate transformative climate action over the next three years of the programme.
