Conservation in densely-settled biodiversity hotspots areas often requires setting up reserve networks that maintain sufficient contiguous habitat to support viable species populations. Because it is difficult to secure landholder compliance with an tightly constrained reserve network design, attention has shifted to voluntary incentive mechanisms, such as purchase of conservation easements by...
Nepal has entered its fourth decade of planned development begun in 1956 with the launching of its 'First Plan' which, like all subsequent 'Plans', was contingent on foreign aid. One result of this dependence on foreign aid for its industrial development in particular, is that machine based manufacturing, at least up to the latter half of the 1970s, has tended to be the preserve of the...
Nepal has now entered its fourth decade of 'planned development' begun in 1956 with the launching of its 'First Plan' which, like all subsequent 'Plans' it should be noted, was contingent on foreign aid. One particular consequence of Nepal's dependence on foreign aid for its industrial development is that machine-based manufacturing, at least up to the latter half of the 1970s, has tended to...
<p>Nepal, along with three quarters of human population occupying a quarter of the global landmass is facing unprecedented disaster risks. People are being exposed to more frequent and severe hazards becoming vulnerable to the impact of natural physical phenomena and less able to cope. Hazards are increasing in frequency and severity, and their impacts are exacerbated by a series of...

During that period, Kathmandu routinely experienced serious lack of access, deficiency of infrastructure, traffic congestion, and inadequacy of housing. These problems were compounded by the continuing damage to...

This issue of cc.alps-compact presents an overview of spatial planning-related measures in the Alps to ameliorate the effects of climate change and promote adjustments to it. The second chapter explains CIPRA‘s key concerns: If spatial planning is to play a key role in climate protection, a number of things have to change, because in the case of conflicts of goals regarding the interests...
The policy guidelines were developed as part of the pilot project 'Incorporating Needs and Roles of Women in Water and Energy Management in Rural Areas in South Asia-Capacity Building in Rural Areas of the Himalayas'. Women were provided with hands on training on the management of energy and water using the training manual developed by the project. The experiences gained were...
Ecological assessments are critical to land management planning and regulatory decision-making. This book addresses topics of particular importance to strategic integrated ecological assessments at a regional or sub-regional scale. The chapters range from overviews of basic ecological principles and ecosystem characterisation and analysis to systematic reviews of selected case studies. In this...
This paper sets out Oxfam International's position on disaster risk reduction.
Disasters are increasing in both their frequency and ferocity. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) is essential if lives are not to be lost unnecessarily and developmental gains are to be secured.
The international community has recognised the importance of reducing disaster risk, and moving away...
