Nepal, being a Himalayan country located in headwaters of the Ganges River basin in South Asia, is at high risk of climate change. It is affecting water and related sectors, primarily manifesting the risk through water, given the nexus of water with other sectors called as water-energy-food-ecosystem (WEFE). Recent water-induced disasters, record breaking heavy rainfall, growing water scarcity, and projected impacts on agriculture yield are some examples of increasing climate risk in Nepal. Government of Nepal has responded to those risks by prioritizing various interventions, including developing climate-responsive policies, and focusing on climate-resilient initiatives across multiple sectors. In this context, this talk will highlight stock-taking of climate risk across water-related sectors in Nepal and then potential opportunities for universities to contribute through research for development initiatives in partnership.

This event is made possible by the U.S. Department of Education Title VI Grant managed by the MSU Asian Studies Center.
