Strategic Priorities of the Government of Nepal in Managing Climate and Disaster Risk

The Government of Nepal has identified four overarching goals for its disaster risk financing strategy. These are aligned to the 15th Development Plan which articulates a clear goal of a “safe and resilient Nepal from disaster risk”. Based on this overarching goal, as well as initial consultations and analysis and lessons from countries with similar risks, the four policy goals have been established to manage the finance impacts faced from climate and disaster risk in Nepal, which will be achieved through four priority areas that have been identified.
