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.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONAGGREGATE DEMANDAIRAIR POLLUTION CONTROLAIR QUALITYAIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENTSALLOCATION OF RESOURCESALTERNATIVE ENERGYARABLE LANDARMED CONFLICTAUDITSBIODIVERSITYCAPACITY BUILDINGCITIZENCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLIMATE CHANGECOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMPARATIVE ANALYSISCOMPOSTDECLINE IN FERTILITYDEFORESTATIONDEPENDENCY RATIODEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT EFFORTSDEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVESDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDISABILITYDISCRIMINATIONDISEASESDISSEMINATIONDIVIDENDSDOMESTIC PRODUCTSDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER QUALITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC PRODUCTIVITYECOSYSTEMEFFECTIVE POLICIESEMISSION REDUCTIONSEMISSIONSENERGY CONSUMPTIONENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATIONENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCEENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTIONENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCESENVIRONMENTAL RISKENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYESSENTIAL HEALTH CAREFARMSFERTILITYFINANCIAL RESOURCESFISHFISHERIESFOREST COVERFORESTRYFUTURE GENERATIONSGENDER EQUITYGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTSGOVERNMENT INITIATIVESGOVERNMENT SUPPORTGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORYGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROUNDWATERHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH PROBLEMSHEALTH RISKSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHOSPITALHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN HEALTHINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEINDOOR AIR POLLUTIONINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTINDUSTRIAL POLLUTIONINDUSTRIAL WASTEINDUSTRIALIZATIONINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATESINFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTIONINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONLABOR MARKETSLACK OF CAPACITYLAND USELARGE POPULATIONLAWSLEGAL STATUSLEGISLATIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSLOCAL CAPACITYLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL DEVELOPMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMANAGEMENT SYSTEMSMANDATESMATERNAL MORTALITYMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMORBIDITYMORTALITYNATIONAL GOVERNMENTNATIONAL LEVELNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE BASENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDSPACE OF URBANIZATIONPEACEPETROLEUM GASPOLITICAL INSTABILITYPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION CHARGESPOLLUTION CONTROLPOLLUTION PREVENTIONPOPULATION GROUPSPOPULATION MIGRATIONPOPULATION PRESSURESPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION GOALSPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPREMATURE DEATHPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRODUCTIVITYPROGRESSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNPUBLIC INVOLVEMENTPUBLIC OPINIONPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONQUALITY IMPROVEMENTRAILROADSRANGELANDSRECYCLINGREMITTANCEREMITTANCESRESOURCE CONSTRAINTSRESOURCES MANAGEMENTRISK FACTORSROADROADSRURAL AREASRURAL POPULATIONSANITATIONSCREENINGSELF-ASSESSMENTSERVICE DELIVERYSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL SECTORSOCIAL SERVICESSOIL DEGRADATIONSOIL EROSIONSPECIESSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTHSUSTAINABLE GROWTHTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL CAPACITYTECHNICAL TRAININGTRANSPORTURBAN AIR POLLUTIONURBAN AREASURBAN MIGRATIONURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POPULATIONSURBAN POVERTYURBANIZATIONURBANIZED COUNTRIESVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE GROUPSWAGESWASTE DISPOSALWASTE MANAGEMENTWATER POLLUTIONWATER RESOURCESWETLANDSWORKERSWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONWorld Bank10.1596/7996
