    Communities throughout the world face substantial challenges in the face of climate change. This is of particular concern in climate change hotspots, especially where extreme climate effects coincide with large numbers of vulnerable and poor people. The Hindu Kush Himalayan region is one such climate change hotspot. For development to be sustainable in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region, interventions need to include choices and actions that improve livelihoods and alleviate poverty, counteract climate change, are inclusive for the most vulnerable and resilient over time. Climate resilient development pathways present an option to bring together these goals, by consolidating climate action and development choices to generate pathways towards sustainable development.

    Exploring approaches for monitoring and evaluation of climate resilient development pathways : lessons from the use of outcome mapping
    (2021-12) Sparkes, Edward; Werners, Saskia E.; Pradhan, Neera Shrestha; Shrestha, Suzeena; Lamichhane, Nabina; Chowdhury, Sidratun; Bhadwal, Suruchi
    Outcome mapping incorporates principles that can be used to inform considerations for the challenges and requirements for climate resilient development pathways. Before reaching the stage of an intervention when practitioners are designing a monitoring and evaluation approach, important steps must already have taken place in the intentional design phase. Indicators should be representative of intervention goals and clear in their direction in relation to long-term model projections of change in climate shocks and stresses. Development pathways in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region informed the results of this report. The Hindu Kush Himalayan region is a climate change hotspot.
