Abstract

Effective integration of climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) can contribute to building community resilience. Despite shared objectives of reducing vulnerability and enhancing resilience, DRR and CCA efforts remain fragmented, limiting their effectiveness. This study examines the integration of CCA and DRR policies and practices in Nepal, focusing on the Local Adaptation Plan of Action (LAPA) and Local Disaster Risk Management Plan (LDRMP) and their framework. Using a mixed-method approach, this study identifies challenges, opportunities, and entry points for the integration of CCA and DRR. There is poor community awareness of LAPAs and LDRMPs, but potential for improvement. The results also highlight overlapping methodologies, tools, and stakeholders in LAPA and LDRMP, indicating opportunities for synergies in planning, resource allocation, and implementation. A proposed framework for integration emphasizes community-driven approaches, policy coherence, and stakeholder coordination. This integration is crucial for achieving resilient development, reducing duplication, and comprehensively addressing climate-induced and disaster risks at local levels.

通过整合尼泊尔的气候变化适应和减少灾害风险政策，建立社区的复原力

气候变化适应（CCA）和减少灾害风险（DRR）的有效整合有助于建立社区抵御能力。尽管减少脆弱性和增强复原力是共同目标，但减少灾害风险和共同国家评估的工作仍然是分散的，限制了它们的有效性。本研究考察了尼泊尔整合CCA和DRR政策与实践的情况，重点关注了《地方适应行动计划》（LAPA）和《地方灾害风险管理计划》（LDRMP）及其框架。本研究采用混合方法，确定了CCA和DRR整合的挑战、机遇和切入点。社区对lapa和ldrmp的认识较差，但有改进的潜力。研究结果还强调了LAPA和LDRMP中重叠的方法、工具和利益相关者，表明在规划、资源分配和实施方面存在协同增效的机会。拟议的整合框架强调社区驱动的方法、政策一致性和利益相关者协调。这种整合对于实现有韧性的发展、减少重复工作以及在地方层面全面应对气候风险和灾害风险至关重要。
