Nepal’s diverse geography and ecosystems make it highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change — from glacial melt and erratic rainfall to floods, droughts, and shifting agricultural patterns. The Faculty of Climate Change and Community Resilience focuses on understanding climate risks, developing adaptation strategies, and building the resilience of communities, especially those in fragile mountain and rural regions. This faculty works to empower individuals and institutions to prepare for and respond effectively to climate-related challenges while safeguarding livelihoods and ecosystems.
Key Areas of Focus:
Our faculty works closely with local governments, NGOs, and community groups to develop practical, inclusive, and science-based solutions for climate adaptation and resilience-building.
