This 2013 fact sheet by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) outlines its support for Nepal's climate change initiatives, focusing on strengthening the country's role in international negotiations, building national knowledge management capacity, and conducting economic impact assessments of climate change.

• The Nepal Climate Change Knowledge Management Centre (NCCKMC), housed at NAST, was supported by CDKN to bridge the gap between academic evidence and policy-makers. This capacity building included the creation of 'action learning groups' and a research grant that enabled 25 Masters students to conduct field work on climate change to inform local policy-making.
• A project running from April 2012 to November 2013, involving IDS-N, Practical Action, and GCAP, is assessing the economic costs of current and future climate impacts in Nepal. The study focuses on headline costs and specific sectors, namely water and agriculture, and includes qualitative case studies on floods in Dang and Banke districts, extreme weather in Kaski district, and high altitude buckwheat crops in Mustang district.
• A CDKN-supported project from November 2011 to January 2013 aimed to increase the impact of the Government of Nepal's participation in UNFCCC negotiations. The project resulted in the establishment of a professional Core Negotiating Team and institutionalised procedures for reporting and coordination, such as newsletters and coordination meetings.
• The NDRI is conducting a project from August 2012 to January 2014 to assess climate change impacts on development in the Koshi River Basin. The work focuses on the variation of extreme climate and hydrological events to propose policy innovations for disaster risk reduction and adaptation.
