Building Resilience to Climate Related Hazards

Abstract*

The main objective of the Building Resilience to Climate Related Hazards Project for Nepal is to enhance government capacity to mitigate climate related hazards by improving the accuracy and timeliness of weather and flood forecasts and warnings for climate-vulnerable communities, as well as developing agricultural management information system services to help farmers mitigate climate-related production risks. There are four components to the project... Show More

Development Objective

Project Development Objective: The main objective of the proposed project is to enhance government capacity to mitigate climate-related hazards by improving the accuracy and timeliness of weather and flood forecasts and warnings for climate-vulnerable communities, as well as developing agricultural management information system services to help farmers mitigate climate-related production risks. This would be achieved by establishing multi-hazard information and early warning systems, upgrading the existing hydrometeorological system and agricultural management information system, and enhancing capacity. Activities funded through the project would help improve decision-making and planning in key climate-vulnerable and water resources dependent sectors particularly agriculture, health, water and disaster management, and contribute to building climate resilience for communities at risk.
