Policy Alignment to Advance Climate-Resilient Development in Nepal

The document examines the need for strategic alignment between Nepal's national policy frameworks—specifically those concerning sustainable development, climate change, and disaster risk reduction—following the country's 2015 constitutional change. It highlights the ongoing review of the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and the relaunch of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process as key opportunities to improve the coherence and efficiency of climate action.

• Nepal is currently updating its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to account for the country's new governance structure and its exposure to various climate risks.
• The formulation process for the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) has been restarted to determine the country's long-term and medium-term adaptation requirements.
• Following the 2015 constitution, Nepal is reviewing policies aimed at sustainable development and climate change impacts to align them with the country's evolving political and economic transition.
