Climate Change Policy, 2011

1. Background of the Policy

Climate change is a natural phenomenon. Anthropogenic climate change has been accelerated by the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), primarily from industrialization, deforestation and increased use of fossil fuels for transport. Scientific evidence, as cited by the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), clearly indicates the wide scale of climate change. Accordingly, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution to develop an international legal instrument to address this global problem. In accordance with this, the Inter-governmental Negotiation Committee met several times and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was adopted in May 1992. This Convention was opened for signature at the UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in June 1992. Nepal signed this Convention on 12 June 1992 and became Party to it in 1994. The IPCC Fourth Assessment report clearly indicates that anthropogenic activities have accelerated the process of global climate change. Increasing GHG emissions has contributed to the increase in the atmospheric temperature, resulting in location-specific impacts. There have been changes in rainfall patterns (high, low, and intensive rainfall) and seasons due to climate change. These have direct and indirect impacts on water resources, agriculture, forests and biodiversity, health, infrastructure development, tourism, and livelihoods. Recognizing this, the international community is actively engaged in minimizing the current effects and likely future adverse impacts through effective implementation of the UNFCCC provisions. The impacts of climate change are vivid in least developed, landlocked, and mountainous countries. Nepal is also highly affected by climate change. It has been an urgent necessity to address the issue of climate change by formulating a policy and implementing relevant programmes to minimize the existing effects and likely impacts in different ecological regions—from the Southern plains to the middle hills and to the high Himalayan mountains in the north, and their peoples, livelihoods, and ecosystems.

2. Past Efforts As a Party to the Convention and being a Non-Annex I country, Nepal prepared the Initial National Communication in 2004 (B.S. 2061)1 and shared with the Parties through the Convention Secretariat. Between 1996 and 2006, the then Ministry of Population and Environment (now the Ministry of Environment) was the designated focal point to implement the provisions of the UNFCCC. The then Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology (now Ministry of Environment) was entrusted as the Designated National Authority (DNA) to

promote the development of projects for the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). A few public awareness raising programmes were organised during this period. Similarly, the 2003 Sustainable Development Agenda for Nepal and the 2001 Millennium Development Goals initiatives have also addressed the issue of climate change to a certain extent. Between 2007 and 2009, in the process of implementing the Convention, Nepal has: (i) prepared the action plan related to capacity building under the National Capacity Needs Self Assessment Project in order to implement the Rio Conventions (Climate Change, Desertification and Biological Diversity); (ii) issued CDM project-approval processes and procedures to benefit from the provisions of the Kyoto Protocol; (iii) started preparing the National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA); (iv) started preparing the Second National Communication (SNC); and (v) implemented a project on strengthening capacity for managing climate change and the environment. Prior to the 15th Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 15) to the UNFCCC, held in Copenhagen in 2009, the Government of Nepal organized a Cabinet Meeting at Kalapatthar, near the base camp of the Mount Everest, and issued the “Kalapatthar Declaration.” In addition, the South Asian Regional Climate Change Conference “from Kathmandu to Copenhagen” was held and a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by 14 donors and development partners to support Nepal on climate change activities. A status paper for COP 15 was also prepared. In July 2009, a 25-member Climate Change Council, including eight experts, was constituted under the Chairmanship of Right Honorable Prime Minister. Similarly, the Right Honorable Prime Minister, during COP 15, stressed the need for addressing the impact of climate change in the mountains, and that decisions and negotiations of the Convention must consider this issue very seriously. From this, climate change appeared in 2009 as national development agenda. In addition, the Interim Constitution of Nepal (2007) and Three-Year Interim Plan (2008-2010) have also addressed the issue of environmental management and climate change. The Government of Nepal established the Climate Change Management Division in the Ministry of Environment (MoE) in the first quarter of 2010. The MoE prepared the National Adaptation Programme of Action, which was endorsed by the Government on 28 September 2010. Local Adaptation Plans of Action (LAPAs) are being prepared to implement adaptation programmes. In the process of implementing the statement made by Right Honorable Prime Minister during COP 15, the Mountain Alliance Initiative has been launched, international expert consultations were organized, and relevant reports were prepared. To coordinate climate change activities and implement collaborative programmes, a multi-stakeholder Climate Change Initiatives Coordination Committee (MCCICC) has been formed with representation from relevant ministries and institutions, international and national nongovernment organizations, academia, private sector, and donors. Similarly, with a policy to make the country’s economy and infrastructure climate-resilient, the National Planning Commission has initiated climate-resilient planning tools in the fiscal year 2010-11. It is evident that institutional, collaborative and programmatic activities have been expanded to address the issue of climate change in recent years. Efforts to mobilise funds to implement the programmes on climate change are under way. In addition, private sector and civil society

continued to organize programmes and activities to raise public awareness and promote adaptation and use of renewable energy.

3. Present Situation

Nepal has experienced an average maximum annual temperature increase of 0.060C. This rate of increase is higher in the mountains than in other regions. Despite having only 0.4 percent of the total global population and being responsible for only 0.025 percent of total GHG emissions in the world, Nepal will be affected disproportionately, especially from increasing atmospheric temperature. Changes in the annual rainfall cycle, intense rainfall and longer droughts have been observed. Similarly, both days and nights are presently warmer. The number of days with 100 mm of heavy rainfall is increasing. The timing and duration of rainfall is changing. As glaciers recede from rapid snow and ice melting, glacier lakes are expanding. The adverse impacts of climate change have been noticed in agriculture and food security, water resources, forests and biodiversity, health, tourism and infrastructures. Climate-induced disasters and other effects have caused damages and losses to life, property, and livelihoods.

Millions of Nepalese are estimated to be at risk to climate change. In the past 90 years, a glacier in the Sagarmatha region has receded 330 feet vertically. Because of glacier melting, new glacier lakes have formed. Although there will be an increase in river flows untill 2030, this is projected to decrease significantly by the end of this century. The problems arising due to climate change are increasing over the years. Nepal has to implement adaptation programmes even if it is not being responsible for climate change. Hence, Nepal has considered climate adaptation as a national agenda and has taken several initiatives for implementing different programmes for risk reduction in the recent years.

4. Problems and Challenges 4.1 Problems There are very few studies about the effects and likely impacts of climate change in Nepal. Scientific evaluations are yet to be carried out to understand the types and degrees of impacts on specific geographical region and development sector. Activities related to climate modelling and assessing the ongoing effects and likely impact of climate change in natural resources, including water resources and other economic sectors from the mountain and hill regions to the plains in the south, have not been carried out due to inadequate human and financial resources and lack of appropriate equipment. Detailed studies, surveys and monitoring of snow and glacier melting and glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) have yet to be conducted. The detailed impacts from climate change on agriculture, water resources, forests and biodiversity, public health, disaster incidence, tourism and other related sectors has yet to be assessed. Similarly, programmes for avoiding, minimizing or adapting to the changing climate by developing appropriate technologies for risk reduction and disaster preparedness have also yet to be implemented. The major challenge is the lack of an effective framework for addressing the adverse impacts of climate change; such a framework should consider the UNFCCC provisions and decisions of the Conference of the Parties, including adaptation, mitigation, finance, technology development and transfer, capacity building, and climate

resilience. Although climate change has become an issue of global importance, there is a lack of institution which can examine climate change from the perspectives of science and technology. 4.2 Challenges

a) National efforts to make the socio-economic sectors climate-resilient is a great challenge due to the lack of knowledge, scientific data and information related to the science of climate change and its impact on different geographical and socio-economic development sectors and use of climate modelling to assess likely impacts.

b) It is also a challenge to assess the effects and likely impacts of climate change, to identify the vulnerable sectors and enhance their adaptive capacity, and to develop a mechanism for reducing GHG emissions.

c) It is necessary to create an enabling environment for technical and financial opportunities at the national and international level in the process of addressing climate change impacts.

d) It is equally necessary to make the country's socio-economic development climate-friendly, and to integrate climate change aspects into policies, laws, plans and development programmes, and implement them.

e) Current and likely adverse impacts of climate change have to be established between upstream and downstream areas so as to promote regional cooperation.

f) In order to achieve the U.N. Millennium Development Goals and avoid or minimize the impacts of climate change on mountain environments, people and their livelihood, and ecosystems, the country should be able to take full advantage of the international climate change regime.

g) There is a need to effectively enhance the capacity of public institutions, planners and technicians, private sector, NGOs and civil society involved in development work.

h) It is equally important to give attention to develop a capable organizational structure with necessary financial and human resources for addressing climate change issues.

5. The Need for a New Policy In order to face the challenges and solve the problems mentioned above, succeed in current efforts and maximize the benefits from the Climate Change Convention, formulation of a new policy with the following aspects is urgently required:

a) To inform Parties to the UNFCCC about the implementation of the Convention along with institutional development, capacity enhancing, technology development and utilization, fund flow and GHG measurement, and updating data and information;

b) To promote climate adaptation, mitigation and carbon sequestration; to mobilise the financial resources and make it accessible for expanding activities in technology development and transfer and capacity building for the formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of programmes;

c) To implement adaptation programmes according to the national development agenda and to ensure at least 80 percent of the total funds available for climate change activities flow to the grassroots level;

d) To make natural resources management climate-friendly for socio-economic development and climate-resilient infrastructure development;

e) To increase public awareness, enhance capacity and promote negotiation skills through multi-stakeholder participation; and

f) To manage and mobilise additional technical and financial resources from clean and renewable energy development, carbon trade and other mechanisms related to reducing the impacts of climate change.

Hence, it is urgently required to formulate and implement a national policy in order to utilize the opportunities created from the climate change phenomenon for reducing poverty and achieving sustainable development. 5.1 Vision This policy envisions a country spared from the adverse impacts of climate change, by considering climate justice, through the pursuit of environmental conservation, human development, and sustainable development--all contributing toward a prosperous society. 5.2 Mission The mission of this policy is to address the adverse impacts of climate change and utilize the opportunities created from it to improve livelihoods and achieve climate-friendly physical, social and economic development.

6. Goal The main goal of this policy is to improve livelihoods by mitigating and adapting to the adverse impacts of climate change, adopting a low-carbon emissions socio-economic development path and supporting and collaborating in the spirits of country's commitments to national and international agreements related to climate change.

9. Strategy and Working Policy In order to implement the above policies effectively, the strategies and working policies are as follows:

9.1 Developing, promoting and implementing climate change-friendly technologies and measures through human resources development;

9.2 Formulating and implementing an action plan for climate adaptation and low GHG emission by ensuring public-private partnership;

9.3 Implementing existing air quality standards and developing and implementing new standards to support low carbon and climate-resilient development.

9.4 Prohibiting the development of human settlements in climate-vulnerable areas (landslide-prone areas, flood-prone river banks, etc.);

9.5 Emphasizing the participation of government, semi-government, NGOs and user groups in formulation and implementation of programmes related to climate adaptation, GHG mitigation, capacity building, technology development and extension;

9.6 Managing solid waste as a resource; 9.7 Emphasizing the implementation of preparedness programmes to fight against disaster

and epidemics; 9.8 Emphasizing the regular implementation of public awareness and capacity building

programmes; 9.9 Preparing appropriate climate forecasting models for Nepal and regularly updating it

based on regional climate models; 9.10 Introducing agriculture and disaster insurance in climate change-affected areas; 9.11 Encouraging the private sector, through capacity building and promotional activities, to

take advantage of the CDM; 9.12 Promoting the plantation of multi-purpose tree species in private fallow land, areas

affected by soil erosion, landslides and sloping land; 9.13 Creating a favourable condition, through financial and technical facilitation, for

communities involved in carbon sequestration to yield the maximum benefits from those activities; and

9.14 Committing at least 80 percent of total funds available for climate change-related programmes at the community level.

10. Institutional Structure 10.1 Strengthening existing institutions whose work relates to climate change issues;

10.2 Coordinating all climate change programmes by the Climate Change Council at policy level and by the Ministry of Environment at functional level;

10.3 Establishing a Climate Change Centre as a semi-autonomous technical institution for the formulation and implementation of climate change-related programmes and research;

10.4 Expanding the function of existing climate-related institutions to implement policies and programmes; and

10.5 Formulating working groups for the implementation of policies and programmes.

11. Financial Aspect 11.1 Establishing a separate Climate Change Fund for implementing programmes related to

climate adaptation and resilience, low-carbon development, risk identification, research, and development and utilization of technologies;

11.2 Managing the finances in the Climate Change Fund, which are provided by the Government of Nepal, bilateral and multilateral agencies, national and foreign individuals and organizations, and funds established under UNFCCC and programmes to support climate change activities; and

11.3 Allocating at least 80 percent of the total budget from Climate Change Fund directly to programme implementation at the community level.

12. Legal Aspect Formulation of new laws and necessary revision of existing ones will be done as required for the effective implementation of climate change related conventions and protocols.

13. Monitoring and Evaluation The Ministry of Environment (MoE) will primarily be responsible for monitoring and evaluating the implementation of this policy. The MoE will prepare and implement monitoring and evaluation indicators. Concerned ministries, departments or agencies will be responsible for maintaining work progress and resolving implementation issues. The local institutions will implement, monitor and evaluate the local level programmes in a prescribed format and report to the MoE. The budget, annual programme and progress of the projects/programmes related to climate change will be submitted to the Climate Change Council and related agencies, and made public.

14. Risk Climate change and its challenges are clearly visible in recent days. Water resources, agriculture, forestry, biodiversity, physical infrastructures, public health, tourism and livelihood are highly vulnerable to climate change. The following are potential risks to the implementation of this policy:

No priorities set for the identification of community climate adaptation and impacts mitigation measures, or the formulation and implementation of programmes at national and local levels;

Lack of a mechanism that can deliver reliable general, sectoral and theme-based information;

Lack of coordination for the implementation of policies and programmes, inability to manage necessary technical and financial resources, and no prioritization of technology development and utilization and capacity building of human resources;

No laws for the implementation of policies;

No initiation, support and participation of national and local governments, private sector, NGOs and user groups for programme formulation and implementation;

Limited reach of climate adaptation and capacity building programmes to targeted communities and groups;

Limited capacity building of focal point of UNFCCC and related institutions; and

Lack of coordination among existing institutions. The above risks seem to be manageable. Hence, given the present political will and commitment of the Government of Nepal, the climate change policy can be implemented effectively.

15. Cancellation This is a new policy.
