About Us
Building resilience against climate change through research,
innovation, and community-centered approaches
Our Mission
We strive to enhance Nepal’s adaptability to climate change through innovative solutions, research, and community empowerment.
Founded in 2008, AdaptNepal has been at the forefront of climate change adaptation and mitigation in Nepal. Our organization brings together experts in environmental science, community development, and policy to address the unique challenges faced by Himalayan communities in the face of rapid climate change.
We believe that sustainable solutions must be grounded in scientific research, responsive to local contexts, and developed with the active participation of affected communities. Our integrated approach combines traditional knowledge with cutting-edge science to create effective and culturally appropriate interventions
Our Vision
A climate-resilient Nepal where communities thrive sustainably in harmony with their changing environment.
We envision a future where Nepal’s diverse communities are equipped with the knowledge, resources, and infrastructure needed to adapt to climate change impacts while pursuing sustainable development paths. In this vision, adaptation strategies strengthen rather than compromise cultural heritage and traditional ways of life.
AdaptNepal aspires to be a leading knowledge hub for climate adaptation in mountainous regions, sharing our expertise and lessons learned with similar regions worldwide. We aim to influence national and international climate policy by demonstrating effective, community-centered approaches to adaptation.
