The summer school on climate change will allow young delegates from South Asian countries, including researchers and students, to learn more about climate change and its effects, Disaster risk reduction, see the fragile eco-system of Nepal, flood control measures as well as observe best practices adopted by the governments in South Asia and local communities, particularly in Nepal, to mitigate climatic impacts.

In the one-week training, a series of workshops will be conducted by climate adaptation scholars and experts from Asia-Pacific. Participants explore and discuss a wide range of climate adaptation issues such as access to adaptation of catastrophic events, socio-economic impacts of climate change, water management, prediction of catastrophic events and etc. In addition to the theoretical parts, participants will be taken for organisational tours and field visits for first-hand experience of the impact of hydro-meteorological disasters towards the local community.
