Nepal is considered one of the top five most vulnerable countries to the adverse effects of climate change because of its hilly, mountainous, and fragile landscapes. While the Government of Nepal focuses on tackling the challenges of climate change through different planned adaptation and mitigation initiatives, their capacity and reach remain limited, and almost all communities experience the adverse effects of climate change today. The National Planning Commission (NPC) of Nepal regards sustainable development as the most important agenda for Nepal as it is highly dependent on its natural resources and human capital for its development whilst overcoming climate change and its diverse geographical challenges. In both aspects, the country is struggling. However, with the transition of Nepal’s Government setup into a federal system, the empowerment of the local governments through municipalities opens an array of possibilities for mainstreaming directives, like the Green School Program 2018, effectively if provided the right support at the right time. A good role model in one municipality can very well be adopted and replicated in all 753 municipalities with 35600 schools across Nepal with right strategies.
