Abstract

The research promotes evidence-based innovative adaptation approaches and practices. Three pilot initiatives focused on: a solar powered irrigation pump; eco-san toilets; and flood resistant housing. This detailed report outlines activities, outcomes and outputs of the project including dissemination of research. The aim is to improve policies and practices that help vulnerable populations adapt to climate change, and to enhance adaptive capacities and climate resilience of vulnerable groups in the mountains and plains of glacier and snowpack-dependent river basins of the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH).
