The project is providing water supply for use at homes and agriculture in about 100 communities in Nepal. The Climate-Resilient Landscapes and Livelihoods Project is using the experience and lessons learned from the Building Climate Resilience of Watersheds in Mountain Eco-Regions by systematically integrating these into the project design (photo by ADB).2 Community Resilience Partnership Program Project Brief No. 1CLIMATE RISK AND RESILIENCE PROFILENepal is highly vulnerable to rising temperatures, melting glaciers, and more intense rainfall that impact overall human development and well-being.aAround 80% of Nepalese are exposed to these hazards, particularly droughts, floods, landslides, and extreme temperatures.bThese natural hazards interact with existing socioeconomic vulnerabilities. Since many households are led by women because of male out-migration, women, along with children and older people, bear heavy responsibilities to meet daily livelihood needs.c Disadvantaged groups, including women and Dalits, who already struggle with time poverty due to essential tasks like water, fodder, and fuelwood collection, are disproportionately affected by climate-induced water scarcity and their dependence on climate-sensitive livelihoods.dNepal’s economy is forecasted to contract by 7% by 2050 due to these climate-related hazards.eNepal’s National Adaptation Plan (NAP) 2021–2050 estimates $47 billion in climate finance to address the adaptation needs of the country.fNepal is committed to direct a large percentage of its climate finance to the local level targeted at building the resilience of poor and vulnerable communities.ga Chapagain D., L.
