  1. Towards Climate Change Resilience Building of Vulnerable Mountain People and their Local Governments Policy consultation workshop Madhukar Upadhya PEI Advisor, SPMC-NPC May 10, 2012 Hotel Everest , Kathmandu

  2. Resilience Building • Policy gaps • How can recommendations of the brief be helpful or not helpful? • Connecting the dots

  3. Existing gaps • Lots of promises at the national level from NAPA, LAPA , Institutional arrangement. CCC, MCCICC…., Climate Policy • Many organizations trying to prove that CC is happening by collecting evidence, organizing interactions. • Lots of materials about the problem - published and circulated. • Every one identifies with it, one can prove what one wishes to prove.

  4. Three key dots • Science of Climate Change. • what effect, (long term, rampant, encompassing ) • how it affects, (resource? process?) • who gets affected to what extent (farmers??) • Policy to reflect CC science. (whose policy?) • physical science, (dominated by snow melt with rising threats of GLOFs, dry season flow reduction) • ecological process, soil water, rainfall distribution??? • Institutions to carry policies forward. (limitations)

  5. Ramechhap showed • Integrating agency • MOE limitation • MLD rightly placed but no expertise • Water conservation agency very weak • Two-way communication • Shared learning dialogue (?) • Identifying and intervening vulnerable areas • Data (district level) vulnerable areas • Learning by doing

  6. Scattered dots • CC is cross cutting and all should be involved; this message has to be spread • MoE is just another Ministry, why should others listen? • Cross-ministerial problem exists (MoFSC / MoE). • How to reach grassroot is not only CC problem but a development problem too. • Representing weak section: politicians representing them is absent for last ten years.

  7. NAPA doing everything • (NAPA is considered a sectoral business and taken as solutions to all climate issues) • Since it is not clear as to what to do, no matter what agency is established it is difficult to translate into implementation • We need strategic steps to move beyond project and programme mode of operation

  8. Strategic steps Climate resilient planning Screening tool Climate financing Use of budget code

  9. Clarifying The Concept Seeded FOR 88 YEARS Nutrients transferred Watered Will Grass grow in Tundikhelin 2100 ? Manured Maintain NPK Insect/ disease Harvested

  10. Using evidence-based platform Knowledge Question Describe the situation X Test, Validate X Know X Understanding Design alternatives We need to understand how natural science and processes work and respond to stresses, to take full advantage of opportunity. Science path Or else, grass may not grow in Tundikhel in 2100. Policy path
