Mountain areas are central to ecosystem functions and biodiversity hotspots. They are also inhabited by deeply impoverished populations. People in the Himalayan landscapes have long lived in contexts of chronic structural risks generated by climate change and deeper socio-political factors in Nepalese society. One strategy has been large collective and individual labour investments in the landscape. This research will investigate such long term landscape investments in order to understand how people’s landscape use and economic and social structures are mutually constituted with very different outcomes for different social groups in a hierarchical society such as Nepal. It does so in a situation where patterns of outmigration creates a situation of rural labour scarcity, which has relatively unknown consequences for land uses and landscapes. The interdisciplinary research team will use the own developed method ‘ES-walks’, in combination with various forms of interviews and collaborative activities in three contrasting mountain landscapes.The project will contribute to the growing body of socio-political nuanced understandings of resilience and adaptive capacity, as well as analyse and reflect on development and environmental changes in an integrated manner. Such knowledge of human-environmental relations is crucial for supporting and improving smallholders’ rural livelihood opportunities.

WHAT: Noncommunicable diseases are not only common in affluent but also in low- and middle-income countries. In Nepal, such diseases account for 60% of all deaths; 22% of these from cardiovascular diseases. We therefore focus on cardiovascular health promoting strategies in Nepal and use this research for capacity building in both Sweden and Nepal. HOW: We will 1) support research initiatives by developing, implementing and assessing the effectiveness and feasibility of a health educational intervention for cardiovascular health focusing on healthy diet and physical activity aimed at mothers with children aged 1-7 years; and 2) strengthen research and research training in Nepal trough capacity building by exchanging teachers/researchers, students as well as library staff. WHY/SIGNIFICANCE: We contribute with new scientific knowledge and establish new research ties in health promotion. Nepal provides an environment, where a mother-centred health educational intervention can be tested in an excellent case-control setting that could not likewise be achieved in Sweden. Moreover, despite cultural and economic differences, potential positive results can be cautiously generalized to Sweden and hence, provide support for testing this innovative health educational approach there, too. Moreover, the expertise of the Swedish members of the team can be integrated into the development of research training in Nepal and can strengthen local research infrastructure and research training.

The overarching aim of this collaboration project is to facilitate the institutional establishment of peace and conflict research in Nepal. Scandinavia in general, and Uppsala in particular, has a strong research profile in empirically based peace research. In this project, we seek to combine the experiences of Swedish peace research with the local competence and contextual knowledge of our Nepali colleagues to establish a firmer basis for empirically oriented peace research in Nepal. The research collaboration focuses on Nepal’s 2006 nonviolent uprising. Popular nonviolent uprisings have been a powerful force of change in many developing countries around the world. Yet, the dynamics of nonviolent uprisings are poorly understood, especially in comparison to violent insurgencies. In particular, we do not yet know what drives people to actually participate in the uprisings. This project sets out to conduct a survey of 1,200 participants and non-participants in the 2006 nonviolent uprisings, with the aim to try to identify the micro-foundations for nonviolent mobilization. The research is embedded in a larger institutional exchange. By way of its focus, it will for the first time bring Nepal’s experiences of nonviolent uprisings to the fore, but also contribute to understanding the conditions under which individuals join nonviolent uprisings.

Large efforts are made internationally to control deforestation as an approach to climate mitigation; one example of this is the implementation of the UN-backed program REDD. However, so far REDD has been unable to curb the drivers of deforestation when facing complex realities of expanding agricultural frontiers, large-scale infrastructure projects and irrepressible markets. Smallholders´ multiple land uses play a central role in fighting climate change and as an important provider of ecosystem services (ES). This research therefore proposes to rethink how ES management and climate mitigation measures can be achieved. While approaching ES from a landscape perspective, this research seeks to investigate smallholders´ motivations and actions for ES management and how these might promote forest cover maintenance, and other forms of ES provision at the same time as it meet the smallholders´ livelihood needs. This will be investigated by using ethnographic and PRA methods in two contrasting country case studies, Brazil and Nepal. These findings will feed into a larger local discussion on motivations for ES management and potential incentive structures for collective action. Finally, the bureaucratic structures, processes and assemblages affecting such actions will be explored. This project engages with the timely and important issue of maintenance of ES, highlighting smallholders´ potential as contributors in ES management and climate change mitigation.
