This report summarizes the findings of a study on the impact of climate change on children in Nepal. The study found that children perceive changes in precipitation patterns and increasing temperatures. They report more frequent and intense extreme weather events that negatively impact their health, education, livelihoods, and safety. Key impacts include damage to infrastructure that disrupts schooling, increased vector-borne diseases, threats to child protection during disasters, and declines in family livelihoods that indirectly impact children. Some communities have begun adapting through practices like adjusting school calendars, distributing mosquito nets, promoting climate-smart crops, and protecting water sources. However, the report concludes that more needs to be done to address children's vulnerabilities and promote their participation in climate
Child centred disaster risk reduction project evaluation and learning-plan-ne...
The document evaluates a child-centred disaster risk reduction project implemented by Plan Nepal in three villages in Sunsari District, Nepal from 2011-2012. The project aimed to build the capacity of government bodies and local communities, including children, to better respond to, prevent, and mitigate disasters. Some key findings of the evaluation include:
- The project was relevant by targeting vulnerable villages, allocating over 90% of funding to capacity building and preparedness, and engaging children who are often most impacted by disasters.
- It was effective in increasing community confidence in responding to disasters through preparedness training, mitigation planning, and developing local capacities. Children recognized their role in disaster risk reduction.

Nepal ldrmp 2011 final
This document provides guidelines for developing local disaster risk management plans in Nepal. It was published by the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration in 2068 BS (2011 AD) with financial and technical support from CARE Nepal. The guideline has five sections that outline the process for establishing coordination mechanisms, conducting vulnerability and capacity assessments, developing the local disaster risk management plan, approving and implementing the plan, and monitoring/evaluating the plan.
Child Centered CSDRM
The Climate Smart Disaster Risk Management approach was developed by the
Strengthening Climate Resilience (SCR) programme, a DFID funded programme
implemented by the Institute of Development Studies (UK), Christian Aid and Plan
International. Through a period of two years (2010-2011), SCR worked extensively
with policy makers and practitioners to develop the Climate Smart Disaster Risk
Management (CSDRM) approach. The approach seeks to address the gap in
effectively incorporating climate change into disaster risk management (DRM) work,
to ensure development work is both climate smart and disaster proof. The CSDRM
approach was developed iteratively with over 1,000 policy makers, practitioners,
scientists and academics from ten at risk countries in Asia and Africa1.

Banke Bardia CC study Nepal 2k7
This study examines the impact of climate change on the livelihoods of women farmers in Banke and Bardiya districts of Nepal. It finds that women's livelihoods are highly dependent on agriculture and are being affected by changes in flooding patterns. Women report decreases in crop production, disruption of markets, and increased debt due to more severe and unpredictable flooding. They are adapting by changing cropping patterns, growing alternative crops, and engaging in off-farm activities. However, women face barriers like lack of skills, access to inputs and credit, and poor infrastructure. The study identifies women's priorities for adaptation such as training, crop diversification, livestock raising, access to loans, and improved irrigation. Supporting these priorities could
