Natural Hazard Mitigation Global Technical Assistance
Understanding climate risks through an intersectional approach
Building resilience to climate change and natural hazards requires socially inclusive action. There is increasing recognition in the climate adaptation space, both in research and policy deliberations, that an intersectional approach is needed to reach the most vulnerable people. As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change observes, risks vary across people within societies depending on intersecting inequalities and context-specific factors such as culture, gender, religion, ability, disability and ethnicity. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change also demonstrates an emphasis on intersectional approaches as countries move towards the global goal on adaptation. Applying intersectional approaches in practice, however, remains less clear. The project will develop country case studies that explore how to apply an intersectional approach to climate adaptation and resilience. Each partner will also collaborate with two or three equity organizations focusing on the rights of women, people with disabilities, younger or older people, or other underrepresented groups who will be engaged in design, data collection and analysis and dissemination. The aim of this work is to generate evidence-based recommendations for adaptation practitioners and policymakers that can inform relevant processes and policies and ensure that climate action works for everyone. This project is part of the Climate Adaptation and Resilience initiative (CLARE) jointly designed, funded and run by IDRC and the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. CLARE is an ambitious five-year initiative to enable socially inclusive and sustainable action to build resilience to climate change and natural hazards across Africa and the Asia-Pacific region.
Smart buildings and green infrastructure for improved human security and sustainable development in Nepal
Nepal is warming at nearly twice the global average, with urban areas facing severe heat stress. In the southern Terai, extreme heat and humidity are driving rapid growth in energy demand for cooling, increasing emissions and placing significant stress on energy infrastructure. Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City (DSMC) in Sudurpaschim Province experiences recurrent heatwaves during May–August, with temperatures frequently exceeding 40°C. Climate variability, rapid and unplanned urbanization, loss of green spaces, and limited energy-efficient infrastructure exacerbate risks to public health, livelihoods, and essential services, disproportionately affecting low-income households, outdoor workers, and residents of poorly insulated housing. Impacts include heat-related illness and mortality, school disruptions, and reduced functionality of public facilities.

The Biodiversity Finance Initiative – Phase II (BIOFIN Nepal)
The Biodiversity Finance Initiative – BIOFIN – is a global programme that developed, piloted, and is continuously improving a methodology to measure existing biodiversity expenditure levels, assess future financial needs, and design comprehensive plans to use finance tools and solutions that increase financing, effectiveness and efficiency of biodiversity management in up to 132 countries. BIOFIN’s first phase (2012-2018) enabled full assessments and initial implementation of finance plan elements in target countries. Significant scaling up of finance solutions is required in all countries to address the biodiversity finance challenge.BIOFIN’s second phase enables up to 132 countries to complete the design and implementation of priority finance solutions and allowed a further 11 countries to undertake the assessments and create the finance plan. At the central level, knowledge management platforms will be expanded and additional guidance produced for most valuable finance solutions.The project aims to achieve the above-mentioned objectives through the following pathways and results:• Output 1: Effective advocacy and partnership strategy informs biodiversity finance practices• Output 2: Knowledge management infrastructure in place to generate and share knowledge on biodiversity finance that capacitate practitioners and decision makers• Output 3: Enhanced data and market intelligence database and index for biodiversity finance practitioners• Output 4: Prioritised biodiversity finance solutions create improved institutional and market frameworks to sustainably manage biodiversity at the national level• Output 5: BIOFIN process implemented at the national level in additional new countries• Output 6: Technical capacities for biodiversity finance assessment and planning process strengthened(non BIOFIN countries)
