NAPA is a strategic tool to assess climatic vulnerability, and systematically respond to climate change adaptation issues by developing appropriate adaptation measures. The Nepal NAPA report is structured according to decision 29/CP.7 and the guidance and annotated guidelines developed by the Least Developed Countries' Expert Group (LEG). The document contains a discussion of the national setting, the Nepal adaptation programme framework, NAPA preparation processes and the methods and criteria used in prioritizing the proposed interventions, identification of key adaptation needs, lists of priority adaptation actions, and finally conclusions. Out of about 250 adaptation options proposed by the Thematic Working Groups (TWG), nine integrated projects have been identified as the urgent and immediate national adaptation priority.
