This document discusses climate change and its effects. It states that climate change is a global concern but knowledge about its causes and impacts is still limited in many countries including Nepal. The increasing emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide from industrialization are trapping more heat from the sun in the atmosphere and warming the planet. This is leading to changes in local weather patterns, disruptions to ecological systems, rising sea levels and effects on agriculture, forests and wildlife. The impacts of climate change could be devastating and pose serious risks, so urgent action is needed to address it.
This document discusses climate change and its effects. It states that climate change is a global concern but knowledge about its causes and impacts is still limited in many countries including Nepal. Increased emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide from industrialization are the main drivers of climate change and global temperature rise. This is disrupting local weather patterns, ecosystems and threatening agricultural production and livelihoods. The effects of climate change could potentially displace millions of people and have widespread social and economic consequences if emissions are not reduced. More awareness and preparedness is needed to address the challenges of climate change.

The document discusses the relationship between development and disaster risk reduction. It explains that development can both increase and decrease vulnerability to disasters, and that disasters can either provide opportunities for development or set back development. It advocates for a people-centered approach to development that reduces vulnerability through building resilience, livelihoods, and local capacities. Key strategies discussed include prioritizing adaptation efforts, integrating adaptation into development plans, strengthening local capacities, and leveraging disaster prevention to promote community-based adaptation.
A disaster is defined as any event, natural or man-made, that threatens lives and property and disrupts normal life. Disasters exceed the ability of affected communities and governments to cope. Hazards threaten people, structures, and assets and can cause disasters. Vulnerability is the likelihood of damage from a hazard due to factors like proximity and susceptibility. Risk is the probability of consequences from hazards people are exposed to. Disaster management involves coordination across organizations in preparedness, response, and recovery phases of disasters to reduce risks and improve capacity to handle disasters.
The document discusses the relationship between development and disasters. It notes that development can both increase and decrease vulnerability to disasters. Development can increase vulnerability by encouraging population growth in hazardous areas and damaging the environment. However, development can also reduce vulnerability through infrastructure like earthquake-resistant buildings. While disasters can disrupt development, they can also provide opportunities for rebuilding safer structures and improving systems. Overall, the document examines how development and disasters intersect and influence each other in both positive and negative ways.
This document discusses how climate change is disproportionately impacting poor women in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal. Field research found that women in these countries are struggling to protect their livelihoods, assets, housing, and food security from increasing floods, droughts, heatwaves, and other climate-related disasters. While women are not passive victims, their limited resources, weak information networks, and lack of support constrain their ability to adapt. The evidence suggests women have started adapting in small ways like finding safer places to live and store goods during floods. However, larger investments and policy support are needed to make their livelihoods more resilient and sustainable over the long term. The document calls for targeted funding for poor women through climate change adaptation
This report summarizes interviews conducted with children in Nepal about the impacts of climate change on their lives. It finds that climate change is already affecting vulnerable communities through increased floods, landslides and irregular weather. Children interviewed in rural, mountain and urban areas of Nepal expressed experiencing impacts on their families' livelihoods, health, education, and access to food and water. They feel vulnerable but want support to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change. The report recommends ensuring children's rights to participation in climate change discussions and decisions that affect their lives.

Participants discussed how community radios and organizations like DPNet and Red Cross can collaborate more on DRR. Examples were shared of radios informing communities during disasters and helping victims, and calls were made to replicate such initiatives for greater impact. The discussion aimed to help community radio stations strategize
1) The document discusses a school building reconstruction project in Sunsari district to improve earthquake safety and security.
2) The project involved renovating existing buildings and constructing new earthquake-resistant buildings at Bhagawati Secondary School in Inaruwa-1 as a demonstration model.
3) Key aspects of the new building construction included two rooms measuring 16 feet by 23 feet, a total height of 49 feet, and features like railings and ramps to improve accessibility.
- Small scale mitigation works were carried out in Sunsari district to address drinking water problems experienced by communities during the monsoon season.
- A total of 28 structures such as tube wells were constructed across multiple locations in consultation with locally formed disaster management committees.
- The structures were 5 meters in height and designed based on discussions with the communities about where flooding typically occurred and input from local technicians.
- Community members contributed through provision of labor and materials while funds were also received from DIPECHO and local government sources to complete the projects.
1) Rambati, a woman from Karkhana Tole village in Sunsari, Nepal, recalls a devastating flood in 1990 when she had just given birth and had to stay in a dangling bed for two days without much food.
2) The village is prone to frequent flooding and other disasters that damage homes and crops. There was no disaster management system previously.
3) With support from a local NGO, the community formed a disaster management committee and began collecting "fistfuls of rice" daily to stockpile food for emergencies. Rambati is an active participant in these efforts.
The community initially had misunderstandings about the relief distribution from PACT Nepal, with people saying PACT would provide each household Rs. 50,000 and a bag of grain. However, after regular meetings between PACT staff and the community to explain PACT's objectives and that it does not provide direct cash relief, the community now understands PACT's role is to build disaster resilience, not provide cash. The community disaster management committee now clarifies any issues themselves. Regular interaction through the community listening center helped address the initial challenges around project implementation.
1) A total of 2,600 meters of bioengineering riverbank protection works were completed in Bahardar tole of Babiya-8, Sunsari, exceeding the original plan of 1,000 meters due to community demand.
2) The works provided protection to 58 households from annual flooding and erosion of the Sunkoshi River, allowing families to invest in livelihoods without risk of loss of property.
3) The project was implemented through cooperation between the local development committee, disaster management office, and local construction committee with technical support from NGO partners and voluntary labor from the community.
The document summarizes an orientation program on disaster management for children in Nepal. It discusses forming child clubs in 7 communities to raise awareness about disaster preparedness and management among children.

3. The standards cover key areas like community participation, assessment, education policy and coordination to help advocate for, support and implement education during humanitarian emergencies. INEE welcomes new members to help advance these goals.
The project has contributed to achieving the priority actions of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) in several ways. It established Disaster Preparedness Committees (DPCs) in six communities to identify risks and develop early warning systems. Financial transparency was maintained through social audits. Emergency funds helped communities conduct preparedness activities. Linking community and village development committee disaster plans helped secure resources. The project identified physical, attitudinal and social risks through vulnerability assessments. Early warning information from the meteorology department was disseminated through local messengers and radio. Simulations helped build knowledge of evacuation procedures.
The document provides context about a cost-benefit analysis conducted for a disaster risk reduction project in Kailali, Nepal. It describes the project, called the Kailali Disaster Risk Reduction Initiative (KDRRI), which was implemented from 2007-2009 in communities vulnerable to flooding. The analysis had two goals: 1) to assess the cost-effectiveness of the KDRRI project and 2) to create a generalizable methodology for evaluating community-based disaster risk reduction projects. Data was collected through surveys and interviews and analyzed using a mathematical model. The analysis found benefit-cost ratios greater than one, indicating the economic benefits of the project exceeded the costs. Specifically, the ratio was estimated to be 3.49, meaning

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
