Building climate-resilient and low-carbon health systems in Nepal: Insights from a policy document review and qualitative interviews with key stakeholders
This study identified the need to strengthen inter-ministerial and cross-disciplinary collaboration in addressing climate change as a risk multiplier across many sectors. Such collaboration would enable international development partners and allow the state government to appropriately allocate resources to address topical challenges, including capacity building, infrastructure development and the establishment of integrated mechanisms to support transition to a climate-resilient health system in Nepal.
