Climate Change and Rural Institution (CCRI)
ForestAction Nepal has recently entered into collaboration with Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) and South Asian Institute for Advance Studies (SIAS) to implement a four-year research project on climate change adaptation and meso level institutions. The project is funded by the Danish Government . The project is being undertaken in four countries; Uganda, Vietnam, Zambia and Nepal. The main objective of this project is to improve adaptation to climate change in rural areas through policy development that stimulates innovation among meso-level institutional actors. Three districts namely Lamjung, Dolakha and Rupandehi have been selected as the case study sites. The research findings are expected to help understand the role of local and meso level institutions in climate change adaptation in Nepal and globally.
Understanding Meso-level Institutional Responses to Climate Change
A knowledge sharing forum meeting on “Understanding Meso-level Institutional Responses to Climate Change” was postpone from 23rd May 2012 due to Banda. It is organized by ForestAction Nepal, Southasia Institute of Advanced Studies (SIAS) in collaboration with Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS). The objective of this forum is to provide an opportunity to researchers and practitioners to reflect upon, analyze, share and disseminate their research and experiences. This will also help document innovative responses of local institutions to climate change and theorize the links between meso-level institutions and climate change adaptation.[pdf-embedder url=”https://webpromotionnepal.com/forestaction/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/CCRI-LG-meeting-23.05.pdf” title=”CCRI LG meeting 23.05″]
