Climate-smart agriculture in Nepal

This policy brief outlines the 'Scaling up climate-smart agriculture in Nepal' project, which aimed to identify and scale climate-smart agricultural practices to address the challenges of climate change, such as drought and unseasonal rains, for Nepal's agriculture-dependent population.

• Climate change is causing significant distress to communities in Nepal that depend on agriculture, specifically through increased temperatures, unseasonal heavy rains during winter, and long drought spells during the monsoon season.
• The 'Scaling up climate-smart agriculture in Nepal' project focused on three primary goals: identifying and testing climate-smart technologies for different agro-ecological zones, developing scaling pathways for 'champion' options, and increasing stakeholder capacity through evidence-based knowledge materials.
• Analysis of the pathways for scaling up selected climate-smart agriculture technologies indicates that these processes are non-linear, dependent on the specific agroecological context, and require collaboration across multiple sectors.
