Local communities bear the brunt of climate change-related disasters, made evident in three municipalities of Nepal (Aathbis, Panchadewal Binayak, and Barbardiya), where residents face challenges recovering from and responding to flooding, landslides and drought. As a result, residents often resort to loans for infrastructure reconstruction, while others relocate entirely.
Communities experiencing loss and damage face additional pressures due to limited knowledge of preventative measures, inadequate infrastructure, and insufficient institutional mechanisms. To support these communities, it is crucial to provide additional support for local actors, conduct thorough research on loss and damage, enhance coordination among stakeholders, facilitate information and technology transfer, strengthen response mechanisms, and secure financing to address these challenges effectively.
