Answers
Answer:
In 2010, the Government of Nepal approved National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA). NAPA developed as a requirement under the UNFCCC to access funding for the most urgent and immediate adaptation needs from the Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF).
In Nepal, NAPA developed with three components: Preparation and dissemination of NAPA documents, development and maintenance of the Nepal Climate Change Knowledge Management Centre (NCCKMC), and development of the Multi-Stakeholder Climate Change Initiative Coordination Committee (MCCICC).
In NAPA, nine integrated projects have been identified as the urgent and immediate national adaptation priority. They are:
Promoting community-based adaptation through integrated management of agriculture, water, forest and biodiversity sector
Building and enhancing adaptive capacity of vulnerable communities through improved system and access to services related to agriculture development
Community-based disaster management for facilitating climate adaptation
GLOF Monitoring and disaster risk reduction and forest and ecosystem management for supporting climate-led adaptation innovations
Adapting to climate challenges in public health and ecosystem management for climate adaptation
Empowering vulnerable communities through sustainable management of water resource and clean energy support and promoting climate smart urban settlement
NAPA’s implementation framework envisages that the operating costs will be kept to a minimum and at least 80% of the available financial resources will reach the local level to fund activities on the ground. Stakeholders in Nepal has also started discussing National Adaptation Plans(NAPs), which are medium and long term adaptation plans for the country as decided by UNFCCC.[1]
