Nepal's remoteness, undulating terrain, fragile land forms, extremely diverse landscape, and unevenly distributed resources will pose different levels of location and context specific climate change impacts. Nepal is ranked as the most climate vulnerable countries in the world. Climate change has been posing additional challenges to the country's socioeconomic development (GoN, 2011).
The goal of the Nepal Climate Change Support Programme (NCCSP) is to contribute in ensuring that the poorest and most vulnerable communities in Nepal are able to adapt to the negative effects of climate change. The key objective is to enhance the capacity of government (particularly the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment - MoSTE and Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development -MoFALD) and non-government (NGOs, CBOs, private sector and communities) institutions to implement the Nepal's Climate Change Policy (2011)
and execute the most urgent and immediate adaptation actions in order to increase the resilience of the climate vulnerable, and poor people of Nepal.
