1 Working Towards Improving Resilience and Adaptive Capacity to Climate Change in the Hindu-Kush-Himalayan Region. Workshop Agenda Hotel Himalaya Kathmandu, Nepal Sunday 19 th Tuesday 21 st October 2014
2 Working Towards Improving Resilience and Adaptive Capacity to Climate Change in the Hindu-Kush-Himalayan Region. Introduction This collaborative research project aims to develop an integrated climate change adaptation toolkit that can be used by key decision makers as a guide for national planning and local capacity building. The project methodology will use participatory approaches to identify the risks, vulnerabilities and opportunities arising from climate change impacts on small upstream communities in Nepal and India and downstream communities in Bangladesh. A key objective is the development of a transferrable climate change adaptation toolkit, which is based on a set of scientific and evidence based methodologies or tools to guide local planners and policy makers during the adaptive response planning process. Workshop aims and objectives This workshop will focus on the development of the climate change adaptation toolkit for the Bhoti Koshi basin in Nepal. The toolkit will incorporate bio-physical, socio-economic, and cultural data collected from the Bhote Koshi basin for the purpose of enhancing the relevance of the toolkit for peri-urban and rural areas. The workshop objectives will align with the Local Adaptation Plans for Action (LAPA) and National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA), which are Nepal s existing climate change adaptation policy documents to help vulnerable communities adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change. Since the overarching strategy of this project is to develop a source (highland mountains) to sink (lowland plains) approach to managing climate change risks, this workshop will also explore opportunities for transferring the toolkit to other countries in the region. For this reason work will also begin on the development of a Road Map for the up-take of the toolkit by communities in India and Bangladesh. Collaborative Partners This project is a joint collaboration between the Australian National Climate Change Institute (ANUCCI); the Monsoon Asia Integrated Regional Study (MAIRS), Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Central Department of Geography Tribhuvan ; Monash Sustainability Institute (MSI), Monash ; Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST); International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD); Centre for Global Change (CGC), Bangladesh; Department of Geography, Kumaun, India; ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability - South Asia Secretariat, New Delhi, China Dialogue and the Government of Nepal.
