Descripción
Extreme weather events and disruptions in normal weather patterns brought about by climate change negatively impact agricultural productivity in Nepal. This, in turn, leads to decreased food security in the country. At the request of the government of Nepal, this project was formulated to provide support for the implementation of urgent agricultural adaptation measures that were identified in the country’s 2010 National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA). The agriculture-related priorities of this programme were targeted, along with three key objectives laid out in the Global Environmental Facility’s (GEF) Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF). These included reducing vulnerability to the adverse impacts of climate change and increasing adaptive capacity to respond to them at local, national, regional and global level, as well as promoting the transfer and adoption of adaptation technology.
