This case study describes an initiative by Build up Nepal to implement low-carbon, climate-resilient housing solutions in Nepal to reduce emissions and increase disaster resilience.

This policy brief outlines the climate vulnerabilities of Nepal, particularly in its mountainous and urbanizing areas, and identifies systemic barriers to local climate action. It highlights a lack of technical capacity, financial constraints, and jurisdictional confusion following Nepal's shift to a federal structure. The authors recommend establishing 'resilience cells' to coordinate government efforts, integrating climate indicators into local budgeting, and adopting integrated planning tools to combine mitigation, adaptation, and disaster risk reduction.
