Overarching climate change policy frameworks in Nepal include the expanded National Adaptation Plan of Action 2010; National Climate Change Policy 2011; National Framework on Local Adaptation Plans for Action 2011; and a Low Carbon Climate Resilient Development Strategy (currently under development). Climate resilience has also been integrated into planning processes at the national, sectoral, and program levels, including the national development plans; agriculture, energy, and forest sector plans; and disaster risk management programs.
The study has explored how the local community’s involvement in the tourism activities under Community Based Ecotourism (CBET) can be increased through small interventions and partnerships.
