CDKN in conversation… with Ram Chandra Khanal, CDKN India

In this short film, Ram Chandra Khanal, CDKN’s country leader for Nepal, talks about the impact of climate change in Nepal, with a focus on the agriculture and public health sector, as well as the government policies underway to improve climate change resilience on both a national and a community level.

Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) present a serious threat to the Nepalese, a threat which is increasing daily with rising temperatures. Policies have been implemented at a national level, such as the National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPA) and at community level, through Local Adaptation Programmes of Action (LAPAs) to bring about change from the top-down and the bottom-up.

Ram is interviewed by Mairi Dupar, CDKN Global Public Affairs Co-ordinator, as part of the ‘CDKN in conversation’ video series.
