Role of policy and institutions in local adaptation to climate change: case studies on responses to too much and too little water in the Hindu Kush himalayas [1]

This study focuses on the role of policies and institutions in strengthening or weakening such community adaptation strategies. It examines four key themes that emerged from the findings of the earlier study: local water governance, flood mitigation measures, agricultural diversification, and alternative livelihood options. The findings of this study will provide key pointers for future policy discourse. Through such studies, ICIMOD aims to contribute to improved understanding of the consequences of climate change for the livelihoods of mountain people and downstream communities, and to strengthen their resilience to withstand, and adapt to, climate change-induced constraints and hazards related to water.
