Climate change (CC) refers "to the variation of earth’s global or regional climate over a long period of time, whether due to natural variability as normal changes or it is the result of human induced activities" IPCC, 2007d:30. By the impact of climate change, as systems become more vulnerable to natural hazards, there is a greater need to develop responses (that is, adjustments in existing practices, processes or structures) that are able to counter potential future disasters. Such a response is known as adaptation to climate change IPCC, 2001b; Smit et al., 1999. Community forest user group (CFUG)〔Department of Forest/GoN from http://www.dof.gov.np/division/community-forest-division/community-forestry〕 is main areas to act climate change adaptation in Nepal. ==Nepal's National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA)== In 2010, the Government of Nepal approved National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA). NAPA developed as a requirement under the UNFCCC to access funding for the most urgent and immediate adaptation needs from the Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF). In Nepal, NAPA developed with the three components:Preparation and dissemination of NAPA document, development and maintenance of Nepal Climate Change Knowledge Management Centre (NCCKMC) and development of Multi-Stakeholder Climate Change Initiative Coordination Committee (MCCICC) In the NAPA of Nepal, nine integrated projects have been identified as the urgent and immediate national adaptation priority. They are: #Promoting Community-based Adaptation through Integrated Management of Agriculture, Water, Forest and Biodiversity Sector #Building and Enhancing Adaptive Capacity of Vulnerable Communities Through Improved System and Access to Services Related to Agriculture Development #Community-Based Disaster Management for Facilitating Climate Adaptation #GLOF Monitoring and Disaster Risk Reduction and forest and Ecosystem Management for Supporting Climate-Led Adaptation Innovations #Adapting to Climate Challenges in Public Health and ecosystem Management for Climate Adaptation #Empowering Vulnerable Communities through Sustainable Management of Water Resource and Clean Energy Support and promoting Climate Smart Urban Settlement NAPA’s implementation framework envisages that the operating costs will be kept to a minimum and at least 80% of the available financial resources will reach the local level to fund activities on the ground. Stakeholders in Nepal has also started discussing National Adaptation Plans(NAPs), which is medium and long term adaptation plan for country as decided by UNFCCC.〔Clean Energy Nepal from http://www.cen.org.np/index.php?page=news_detail&nid=283#.USe4wR2LDgs〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Climate change adaptation in Nepal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
