Climate change, floods, and community resilience: a study of the Kamala river basin, Nepal

The study examines how climate change is intensifying floods in Nepal’s Kamala River Basin, focusing on the communities in Dudhauli and Siraha. It explores the effectiveness of early warning systems and local strategies to build community resilience.

Communities face recurring floods worsened by climate change, affecting agriculture, water access, and livelihoods. Early warning systems are in place but often unreliable. Despite limited resources, communities use nature-based solutions and social cohesion to improve resilience.
