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 useEcosystem-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; constructinginfrastructure for water conservation; and introducing alternative climate-resilient livelihoods.
