127-1 The Future for Climate Finance in Nepal

Summary

This study, The Future for Climate Finance in Nepal, examined the development effectiveness dimensions of climate finance in Nepal. The analysis is based on the premise that the management of climate finance should build on relevant examples of good practice in other areas of public finance management, recognising the likely need for a variety of instruments to deliver climate change programming. As climate finance is at an early, formative stage in Nepal, this paper offers a forward-looking perspective on how climate finance may be administered in the years ahead. The paper focuses on the public financing component of climate finance and the role of international support.
