CEA has been built upon the following three primary study components: (a) an examination of the environmental issues associated with infrastructure development, focusing on the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process in priority growth sectors; (b) an analysis of environmental issues linked to rapid urbanization, focusing on the growing problems of solid waste, poor air quality, and industrial pollution, and the resulting impacts on environmental health; and (c) an analysis of the policy and institutional underpinnings related to key environmental management systems at the national and local levels. This report provides the basis for a discussion of the challenges and options facing Nepal in regard to improving the performance of key environmental management systems and institutions to support its growth and poverty alleviation agenda.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONAGGREGATE DEMANDAIRAIR POLLUTION CONTROLAIR QUALITYAIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENTSALLOCATION OF RESOURCESARABLE LANDARMED CONFLICTAUDITSBIODIVERSITYCAPACITY BUILDINGCITIZENCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLIMATE CHANGECOMPARATIVE ANALYSISCOMPOSTDECLINE IN FERTILITYDEFORESTATIONDEPENDENCY RATIODEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT EFFORTSDEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVESDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDISCRIMINATIONDISEASESDIVIDENDSDOMESTIC PRODUCTSDRAINAGEDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER QUALITYDRIVERSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC PRODUCTIVITYECOSYSTEMEFFECTIVE POLICIESEMISSIONEMISSION REDUCTIONSEMISSIONSENERGY CONSUMPTIONENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATIONENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCEENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTIONENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCESENVIRONMENTAL RISKENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYESSENTIAL HEALTH CAREFARMSFERTILITYFINANCIAL INCENTIVESFINANCIAL RESOURCESFISHFISHERIESFOREST COVERFORESTRYFUELFUEL USEFUELSFUTURE GENERATIONSGENDER EQUITYGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTSGOVERNMENT INITIATIVESGOVERNMENT POLICIESGOVERNMENT SUPPORTGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORYGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROUNDWATERHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH PROBLEMSHEALTH RISKSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHIGHWAYSHOSPITALHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN HEALTHINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEINDOOR AIR POLLUTIONINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTINDUSTRIAL WASTEINDUSTRIALIZATIONINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATESINFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTIONINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYLABOR MARKETSLACK OF CAPACITYLAND USELARGE POPULATIONLEGISLATIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSLOCAL CAPACITYLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL DEVELOPMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMANAGEMENT SYSTEMSMANDATESMATERNAL MORTALITYMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMORTALITYNATIONAL GOVERNMENTNATIONAL LEVELNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE BASENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDSPACE OF URBANIZATIONPEACEPOLITICAL INSTABILITYPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION CHARGESPOLLUTION PREVENTIONPOPULATION GROUPSPOPULATION MIGRATIONPOPULATION PRESSURESPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION GOALSPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPREMATURE DEATHPRODUCTIVITYPROGRESSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNPUBLIC INVOLVEMENTPUBLIC OPINIONPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONQUALITY IMPROVEMENTRANGELANDSRECYCLINGREMITTANCEREMITTANCESRESOURCE CONSTRAINTSRESOURCES MANAGEMENTRISK FACTORSROADROAD NETWORKROAD SECTORROAD TRANSPORTROADSRURAL AREASRURAL POPULATIONRURAL ROADSSANITATIONSELF-ASSESSMENTSERVICE DELIVERYSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL SECTORSOCIAL SERVICESSOIL DEGRADATIONSOIL EROSIONSPECIESSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTHSUSTAINABLE GROWTHTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL CAPACITYTECHNICAL TRAININGTRAFFICTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRANSITTRANSIT FACILITIESTRANSPORTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION COSTSTRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTUREURBAN AIR POLLUTIONURBAN AREASURBAN MIGRATIONURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POPULATIONSURBAN POVERTYURBANIZATIONURBANIZED COUNTRIESVEHICLEVEHICLE EMISSIONSVEHICLESVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE GROUPSWAGESWASTE DISPOSALWASTE MANAGEMENTWATER POLLUTIONWATER RESOURCESWETLANDSWorld Bank10.1596/7690
