The document discusses environmental issues in Nepal related to sustainable development. It identifies three main causes of environmental problems in developing countries like Nepal: poverty, poor natural resource management, and unplanned urbanization. Poverty leads to overuse of natural resources for survival and short-term needs. Poor management results in issues like deforestation, water shortages, and pollution. Rapid population growth and lack of planning in urban expansion causes problems like land encroachment and more pollution. Solutions proposed include environmental education, policies for sustainable resource use and settlement, and incentives that reward conservation efforts.
The presentation presented the the Climate Change Conference in Korea, organized by Department of climate change, Kyungpook National University, Daegu. It describes the policy and practice of climate in Nepal in particular reference to the Agriculture.
This presentation is targeted to the community development practitioners who are working in various field of human welfare as livelihood improvement, human health, water and sanitation, renewable energy etc. this presentation intends to expand their understanding on climate change. Climate change issues are multisectoral and require a multi-stakeholder consultation and action in order to apply adaption and mitigation schemes. It needs to be thought broadly that the problem they are addressing might be the impacts of climate change. Community development workers are the agents of change. They must start advocating on 2°C warmer world as their dissemination of information are quite effective than other means and media.
Environmental problem is a major problem in Bangladesh. People don't take this matter seriously like poor country whether other developed countries are taken necessary steps to protect their environment. In this slide presentation, we want to discuss about causes, effects, government steps & various ways to protect our environment. Hope, you'll enjoy this presentation. Thank you All.
Sustainable Development Goals : Perspective Bangladesh.pptxMdNajmusSakib
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were born at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro in 2012. The objective was to produce a set of universal goals that meet the urgent environmental, political, and economic challenges facing our world.
The SDGs replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which started a global effort in 2000 to tackle the indignity of poverty

Essential Package of Health Services Country Snapshot: NepalHFG Project
This country snapshot is one in a series of 24 snapshots as part of an activity looking at the Governance Dimensions of Essential Packages of Health Services in the Ending Preventable Child and Maternal Death priority countries. The snapshot explores several important dimensions of the EPHS in the country, such as how government policies contribute to the service coverage, population coverage, and financial coverage of the package. Each country snapshot includes annexes that contain further information about the EPHS.

Changing climate always has been a necessary topic and its a real thing happening around us. Its impact is seen in many field. But this slide mainly focuses on the agriculture faculty of climate change. And how Nepal is adapting to its impacts.
Conceptualization of rural development and planning and its reference to Bangladesh
The term rural development is the process of improving quality of life of the people living in rural areas who live often relatively isolated and sparsely populated area.
The Final Seminar of the Project for Assessment of Earthquake Disaster Risk for the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal was held on 14 February 2018.
The public seminar was held three times during the project.
The Final Seminar, “ Understanding Disaster Risks and Moving Towards DRR and Resilience”, presented on the activities and accomplishment of the project, construction of robust and resilient society against natural disaster risk.

Sustainable development (SD) is a pattern of resource use, that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present but also for generations to come (sometimes taught as ELF -Environment, Local people, Future)
Environmental issues of nepal for sustainable development

For
Sustainable Development
Presented by

2. Background
Development is generally measured in terms of economic
growth that contributes to nation’s wealth.
So, untill now in many cases
The popular development indicator used to measure the
development of the country is the Gross Domestic product
(GDP).
The consequence:
The Northern countries exploited the earth unwisely since the
period of industrial revolution. It has brought many ecological
problems now.
In the southern countries due to poverty, poor natural
management and unplanned settlement system we have faced
many environmental problems.
3. These environmental concerns are very important
issues for the sustainable development today:
Our responsibility is not only to bring prosperity to the
present world but also secure resources for our future
generation.
Because sustainable development is:
the “development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs”.
Brundtland Report (1987) ‘Our Common Future’
4. Focus in this presentation
We would like to focus in some of the key
environmental issues in the southern developing
countries with special focus in our country Nepal.
The main environmental issues in the developing
countries like Nepal are the result of 3 Ps:
•Poverty
•Poor natural resource management
•Planning-less settlement (unplanned urbanization)
•Let us discuss how these 3 Ps have given rise to
serious environmental issues.
5. P1
Poverty
Poverty has very serious limitations. Poor people’s needs are
so urgent that most of the time they do not behave rationally
due to their need for survival.
The natural resources like forests in developing countries are
not destroyed for industrial purpose like in the North. They are
the sources for their livelihood. Eg. Forest sources for
domestic use (fire wood, timber, money-making to earn living
by product sale)
The result is deforestation.
The agriculture land is used irrationally to increase production
by using chemical fertilizer and insecticides. It is again not for
large commercial purpose. It is to fight against hunger and
fulfil basic needs.
The result is quality degradation of land and water.
6. P2
Poor natural resource management
The developing countries are poor in natural resource
management because of their own financial constraint,
lack of awareness and lack of seriousness in policy
implementation
As a result they are not able to preserve:
Land resources: fertile lands, forests etc
Water resources: River, lakes, ponds, spring (mul pani
etc)
Air environment: (emission of carbon from old vehicles,
factories near by settlement, dust, industrial chemical in
the air etc
The result is land, water and air pollution
7. P3
Planning-less settlement (unplanned urbanization)
In developing countries in most cases the towns are not the
result of foresighted urban planning.
The towns are developed as there is stretch of roads in to
new area.
Eg. A small tea/raksi shop is set up for the driver
/passenger. As the pressure of the traffic new shops
appear. Gradually it takes the shape of a bazar and in few
year a new town.
Eg. May towns along the highway of Mahendra Highway
The result:
Land encroachment to the nearby forest, river banks, fertile
lands and air/water/air pollution

17. Environment Curriculum
- Awareness about environment issues , natural resource
management.
- Lack of expert human resources in the field of natural
resource management .
- Lack of research works related to natural resource
management.
- Environmental education is compulsory in schools.
18. Policy interventionPolicy intervention
•Lack of evaluation and monitoring by the relevant
agencies.
•Policy might be there but not adequate and poor
implementation of already existing ones
•Do people in remote areas know about those policies?
•High dependency in petroleum products as sources of
energy- solar energy, hydro power, wind energy)
•Poor economy
