Сводный обзор: 
Overviews Nepal's counteractions to Climate Change to reduce climate hazards and build resilience, help climate vulnerable communities cope with climate change impacts, and reduce impacts of climate change on its people, property and natural resources. It includes provisions on institutions, policy frameworks and adaptation actions, knowledge management and mitigation actions. Finally, it addresses Nepal's INDCs and their financing mechanisms.

Energy access targets: 
Increase the share of biogas up to 10% as energy for cooking in rural areas; and  Equip every household in rural areas with smokeless (improved) cooking stoves (ICS) by 2030.
Clean cooking solutions: 
 Increase the share of biogas up to 10% as energy for cooking in rural areas; and  Equip every household in rural areas with smokeless (improved) cooking stoves (ICS) by 2030.
Efficiency
EE building standards: 
Nepal in its drive for reconstruction in the post-earthquake situation will strive to promote greener, smarter and better homes as guided by the National Reconstruction Authority. The building code has provisioned for at least two trees in home garden, and rainwater harvesting and solar light in urban homes.
EE financial incentives: 
The National Rural Renewable Energy Programme (NRREP), under implementation, provides a framework for the local communities across the country to have access to not only energy but also energy efficient technologies through various subsidy programmes.
Renewable Energy
RE targets: 
By 2020, Nepal intends to expand its energy mix focusing on renewable by 20% and diversifying its energy consumption pattern to more industrial and commercial sectors.---Nepal is planning to generate clean energy as follows:  4,000 MW of hydroelectricity by 2020 and 12,000 MW by 2030;  2,100 MW of solar energy by 2030 with arrangements to distribute it through the grid;  Additional 220 MW of electricity from bio-energy by 2030;  Additional 50 MW of electricity from small and micro hydropower plants;  Increase the share of biogas up to 10% as energy for cooking in rural areas;---Technologies Targets: Mini and Micro Hydropower 25 MW; Solar Home System 600,000 systems; Institutional Solar Power Systems (solar PV and solar pumping systems) 1,500 systems; Improved Water Mill 4,000 number; Improved Cooking Stoves 475,000 stoves; Biogas 130,000 household systems, 1,000 institutional and 200 community biogas plants.
RE action plans: 
Nepal has a policy for maximum utilization of hydropower potential to meet its domestic demand of electricity by mitigating adverse environmental impacts. It also has a policy to accelerate renewable energy services, and increase access to the Renewable Energy technologies with subsidy provisions.
Environment
GHG emissions reduction targets: 
Nepal will pilot a sub-national project on REDD+ to reduce about 14 million tons of CO2-eq by 2020 by addressing the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation and strengthening governance mechanisms in all types of forests and protected areas.
Pollution control action plans: 
The Government of Nepal is strengthening its institutions to ensure implementation of climate change and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus (REDD+) programmes.---Nepal’s Climate Change Policy (2011) [...] has objectives of, inter alia, reducing GHG emissions by promoting the use of clean energy; ---Forestry Sector Policies and Strategies[...] to enhance carbon sequestration through sustainable management of forests, and support programmes that reduce carbon emissions from forest areas.---The Environment-friendly Vehicle and Transport Policy (2014) aims, inter alia, to reduce emission from transport sector, increase the share of electric vehicle up to 20% by 2020, promote the transformation of other regular vehicle to electric vehicle, and provide subsidy scheme for the promotion of electric and non-motorized vehicles.---Nepal promotes the generation of energy from waste, by converting and managing waste and minimizing the release of methane.---By 2025, Nepal will strive to decrease the rate of air pollution through proper monitoring of sources of air pollutants like wastes, old and unmaintained vehicles, and industries.
Decarbonization strategy: 
[T]he Forestry Sector Strategy (2016-2025) aims to enhance Nepal's forest carbon stock by at least 5% by 2025 as compared to 2015 level, and to decrease mean annual deforestation rate by 0.05% from about 0.44% and 0.18% in the Terai and Siwalik hills respectively.---Low Carbon Economic Development Strategy As a roadmap to opt low carbon pathways, Nepal is in the process of finalizing its Low Carbon Economic Development Strategy (LCEDS) to further promote the use of renewable energy and look into the cross-sectoral approaches of the economy where GHGs emissions can be minimized.
Carbon markets: 
[T]he Forestry Sector Strategy (2016-2025) [...] aims to put in place forest carbon trade and payment mechanism and mainstream community/ecosystem-based adaptation by 2025.---Provide better price from carbon markets to ensure an equitable benefit sharing mechanisms and maximize benefits at the local level to help sustainable management of forests; Sell carbon credits at a better price from its renewable energy and REDD+ programmes.
Energy Supply and Infrastructure
Energy supply priorities: 
Nepal promotes the generation of energy from waste, by converting and managing waste and minimizing the release of methane.
Infrastructure development priorities: 
Nepal will develop its electrical (hydro-powered) rail network by 2040 to support mass transportation of goods and public commuting.
Investment
Investment climate development: 
Create an enabling environment to promote private sector investments and foreign direct investments in low carbon (energy efficiency and renewable energy) technologies.
Technology
Clean energy technology priorities: 
The Environment-friendly Vehicle and Transport Policy (2014) [...] calls for an improvement in transport practices and technologies through diversifying towards electricity, hybrid and natural gases.---Environment Friendly Local Governance Framework: [...] Promote renewable and clean energy and energy efficient technology.---Nepal promotes the generation of energy from waste, by converting and managing waste and minimizing the release of methane.
Clean energy technology deployment: 
The Environment-friendly Vehicle and Transport Policy (2014) [...] calls for an improvement in transport practices and technologies through diversifying towards electricity, hybrid and natural gases.
R&D renewable energy: 
Nepal promotes the generation of energy from waste, by converting and managing waste and minimizing the release of methane.
