Nepal’s National Adaptation Plan 2021-2050

Nepal’s National Adaptation Plan 2021-2050

The National Adaptation Plan of Nepal was prepared by the Government of Nepal through the Project ‘Building Capacity to Advance National Adaptation Plan Process in Nepal’. The Project has been supported by Green Climate Fund (GCF) and executed by United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The NAP aims to:

  • Inform the planning, coordination, and implementation of adaptation actions needed at all levels of government and across society and ecosystems.
  • Provide guidance on integrating adaptation considerations into policies, programmes, and activities.

The short and medium-term programmes are designed to help the Government of Nepal achieve the adaptation actions set out in its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), 2020. This NAP document also serves as Nepal’s Adaptation Communication, a requirement under the Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
