Emphasis on disaster preparedness and integrated development for Himalayan water security

At a program held at the Nepal Pavilion during the ongoing United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP-31) in Türkiye, experts and stakeholders have placed special emphasis on mitigating the risk of water-induced disasters in Nepal's Himalayan region due to climate change. Citing the context of the Rasuwa-Bhote Koshi disaster, they pointed out the need to prioritize the effective implementation of early warning systems, an increase in scientific research, inter-institutional collaboration, and climate-resilient development. Participants emphasized the need to adopt an integrated development model to address the challenges of Himalayan water security. The discussion focused on the need for policy-level reforms and the implementation of preparedness programs at the local level to protect the Himalayan regions directly affected by climate change. Experts expressed the belief that this will help reduce the damage caused by major disasters that may occur in the future.
