A Report on Nepal’s Climate Justice Landscape Study

Nepal's Climate Justice Landscape Study is prepared in order to strengthen disability-inclusive climate justice initiatives in Nepal. The Study provides critical evidence and strategic direction necessary to advance the disability-inclusive climate justice movement in Nepal, and it is expected that it serves as a foundational resource for OPD leaders, government agencies, relevant civil society organizations, policymakers, and advocacy coalitions dedicated to achieving equitable climate action. This is based on the fact that persons with disabilities suffer a disproportionate impact owing to existing barriers in mobility and communication, limited access to resources, and insufficient representation in vital decision-making forums of climate change actions. Compounding this challenge, systemic exclusion and social stigma exacerbate their vulnerability, hindering their effective participation in preparedness, adaptation, and recovery efforts.
