This brief documents applications of new science and appropriate technology, and research conducted with communities to better understand and model flood risk in the Karnali river basin, Western Nepal.
Scientists have shown how earthquakes and storms in the Himalaya can raise the impact of deadly floods in one of Earth's most densely populated areas. Large volumes of hard rock dumped into rivers by landslides can increase flood risk up to hundreds of kilometres downstream, potentially affecting millions of people, researchers say.
This document is a summary of findings, including conclusions about the way to address climate change impacts and data gaps that remain to be filled.
Voluntary Commitments
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
