Climate Risk Assessment (CRA) is integral to sustainable and climate-resilient Water Resources (WR) development. It is necessary to analyze the inherent vulnerabilities and resilience of WR systems to uncertainties in the climate and other risk factors (like natural hazards). For this purpose, capacity building of WR practitioners is integral in conducting CRA.

A four-day Capacity Building Workshop on Climate Risk Assessment for Water Resources Management was jointly organised by Nepal Development Research Institute (NDRI) and Tribhuvan University (TU) from 5-8 February 2024 in Lalitpur, Nepal. This capacity-building workshop, targeted at early career water resources researchers and practitioners, was a part of the project “Building Capacities for Climate Resilient Water Resources Development under Climate Uncertainty” funded by the Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN).

The primary objective of this training workshop was to equip water and climate researchers and practitioners with the skills and knowledge to conduct effective CRA.
