Chairman, and National Planning Commission of Nepal during Asia Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development 2017: Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction for Poverty Eradication in Asia-Pacific that was held on 31 March 2017 at UNCC, ESCAP Building, Bangkok, Thailand.
Mainstreaming disaster risk reduction across all the important sectors is critical. To that end, we have developed a national strategy for integrating disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation into our development planning. In addition, our national strategy involves a number of phases of activities including (i) understanding the hazards, assessing disaster risks, and creating awareness, (ii) actions to reduce community vulnerability to hazard and risk and to increase community coping capacity largely through Prime Minister's Agriculture Modernization Programmes and other programmes directly aimed at poverty reduction, (iii) development of early warning system.
