dc.description.abstractNepal’s diverse geoclimatic system makes it vulnerable to a myriad of climatic-related events. The combination of variable torrential rainfall patterns and heavy monsoons, both extreme heat and cold, along with steep terrain, increase the risks of floods including Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFS), landslides, droughts, and waterborne diseases (WBDs). Nepal’s communities are particularly vulnerable to climate change, as they are already hampered by poverty, being located in remote areas and operating on subsistence agriculture. Given Nepal’s high exposure and vulnerability to climate change, the World Bank, through the Health Climate and Environment Program (HCEP), is conducting a Climate and Health Vulnerability Assessment (CHVA) in Nepal. The objective of this CHVA is to assist decision-makers with planning effective adaptation measures to deal with climate-related health risks. Where available, these measures are provided at a subnational level to assist regional health planners. The recommendations of this CHVA are primarily targeted at the health sector and related sectors that influence health risks from climate changes, such as disaster risk management (DRM).en
