            Asia Pacific Graduates' Youth Forum on Green Economy
                  25-29 September 2012, Kathmandu, Nepal
Overview


Nepal

Landlocked, mountainous, least developed country
Population close to 30 millions, 31 percent of whom are below the poverty line
Poverty and fragility are two major constraints to livelihood and development
Almost 80 percent reside in rural areas, 66 percent are involved in agriculture
contributing 36 percent to the GDP (MoAC, 2012)
Good example on Community based Forest management
Richest in biodiversity
Situation

o Farmers follow traditional agricultural patterns, relying on rainwater and seasonal
precipitation
o Agriculture as subsistence nature, annual per capita food availability (edible form) declined
from 198kg during 1990/91 to 186 kg in 2008/09
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...................
The relationship between climate change and agriculture is two-way but once the climate
is disturbed, the whole agriculture system is affected

Temperature has increased from the last 10 years.
The annual mean temperature trend 0.02 to 0.08° C in western over national trend -0.04
to 0.06° C.

Climate mitigation and adaptation mechanism through governmental or other agencies
like NAPA, LAPA, PES, etc
Green Economy


There is no single definition of a green economy

NPC (2011) defines
a green economy minimizes the human-induced carbon footprint in development
activities while leading to sustainable poverty reduction, better social equity, mitigation
of natural resource scarcities, and decreased environmental risks

Nepal strongly feels that
the green economy should be an instrument for sustainable development, poverty
reduction and inclusive and equitable growth
                                             3 pillars of sustainable development

                                                                         Economic




                                                              Environm
                                                                ental               Social
Green Economy: Prospects for Nepal


country blanketed by forests( 29%), a rich biodiversity including hundreds of commercially
viable medicinal, aromatic, and dye plants, and rich agro-biodiversity


Possible areas for benefit to Nepal

renewable energy (solar, biogas, bio-briquette, wind, etc.)
cleaner transportation (public transit, electric vehicles)
water management (rainwater systems, water purification)
eco-tourism (eco-village, etc.)
land and vegetation management (organic agriculture, habitat conservation and
restoration)
Some initiatives in Green Economy


Current achievements can be taken further by promoting low-carbon development strategies
that create green jobs, reduce poverty, and maintain ecosystem services.

Community Biodiversity Management
Community based forest management
 (18000 community forestry uses groups managing 1.65million ha, of forests which are being
managed by local and indigenous community)
Organic farming
Eco-tourism
Hydropower and renewable energy (Eg. on energy saving -Switch to CFL by Nepal Electrical
Authority/ Biogas promotion)
Youth Prospective towards Green
                      Economy

Young people make up 39% of the population, defined in Nepal’s National Youth Policy as
those aged 16-40

Poverty, unemployment, declining natural resources, deteriorating agricultural productivity
and more recently the political instability in the country, a total of 384,000 Nepali youths left
the country in search of work in the fiscal year 2011/12 (Khatiwada, 2012)

From this context, children and youth especially women are vulnerable to impact of climate
change on mountain region who livelihoods are based on climate sensitive resources

Nepal is facing more problem with political conflicts and youth voice being as secondary
priority

Young are adept at spreading new habits, raising awareness and advocate for change
Youth lead and challenges

Advocacy on                                       Major challenges
i. Climate Justice                                1. Reorganization/ trust
ii. Equity                                        2. Opportunity
iii. Sustainability                               3. Finance

Different organizations are involving on Capacity Building on Youth such as ICIMOD, SEN, LI-
BIRD, NYCA, etc with national body Self Employment Commission
What Nepal needs?

Existing policies on Green Economy
Interim Constitution 2007
Forestry Sector Policy, 2000
Forest Act, 1993
Environmental Protection Act, 2011
Climate Change Policy, 2011
Third Year Interim Plan, 2010-2012
National Youth Policy, 2008
Agriculture Prospective Plan, Millennium Development Goal, etc

Initiative as documentation of policy on Country Status Paper of Nepal as presented in Rio+20
Still need to

Integrated and properly balanced giving particular attention to social equity and good
governance with considering youth in central point development
Property rights must be clearly defined to enable and encourage true stakeholders to use
natural resources sustainably
Renewed political commitment is essential for greater integration of all three pillars of
sustainable development as well as for implementing the action plans
Thank You for Your Patience

Overview Nepal Landlocked, mountainous, least developed country Population close to 30 millions, 31 percent of whom are below the poverty line Poverty and fragility are two major constraints to livelihood and development Almost 80 percent reside in rural areas, 66 percent are involved in agriculture contributing 36 percent to the GDP (MoAC, 2012) Good example on Community based Forest management Richest in biodiversity
  • 3. Situation o Farmers follow traditional agricultural patterns, relying on rainwater and seasonal precipitation o Agriculture as subsistence nature, annual per capita food availability (edible form) declined from 198kg during 1990/91 to 186 kg in 2008/09 ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………................... The relationship between climate change and agriculture is two-way but once the climate is disturbed, the whole agriculture system is affected Temperature has increased from the last 10 years. The annual mean temperature trend 0.02 to 0.08° C in western over national trend -0.04 to 0.06° C. Climate mitigation and adaptation mechanism through governmental or other agencies like NAPA, LAPA, PES, etc
