dc.descriptionNepal is a landlocked country in South Asia with a population of around 28 million. Climate change has been threatening the quality and quantity of water supplies in the country. This project is increasing the capacity of the government and local communities to use Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) to adapt to climate change in forests and rangelands in mid-hill and high mountain areas of Nepal. The project’s main approaches include: restoring forest and rangeland ecosystems to protect communities from climate impacts; strengthening the technical capacity of Nepal’s institutions to implement EbA; mainstreaming EbA into national policy; constructing infrastructure for water conservation; and introducing alternative climate-resilient livelihoods.en
