On March 16, the United Nations Development Programme and the Ministry of Finance signed a new project to support the government of Nepal in strengthening its national capacities to access, manage, deploy and monitor climate finance received from the Green Climate Fund. “Nepal is the fourth most vulnerable country in terms of climate-related risks and given the fact that Nepal has a large number of poor people depending on climate-sensitive natural resource-based agriculture, the risks of loss is even higher,” said UNDP Country Director Renaud Meyer.
