Nepal pursues a locally led adaptation approach to implement climate plans

April 2023 – Nepal is home of the Himalayas and a country with a unique topography, including the world's highest peaks and deep river valleys. The country has a diverse and complex climate system. Unfortunately, this topography also makes Nepal particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, which are already being felt throughout the country. From melting glaciers and increased landslides to more frequent and severe droughts and floods, Nepal is facing a range of unique climate change impacts that threaten the well-being of its people and its ecosystems.
