Protecting livelihoods and assets at risk from Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) and climate change-induced flooding in glacial river basins of Nepal
Summary
This Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) outlines measures to mitigate environmental and social risks associated with a Green Climate Fund (GCF)-funded project aimed at reducing GLOF risks in Nepal. The project focuses on institutional capacity building, early warning systems, and both structural and non-structural interventions in four high-risk glacial lakes: Thulagi, Lower Barun, Lumding Tsho, and Hongu 2. By implementing these strategies, the project seeks to protect vulnerable communities and their assets from the devastating impacts of GLOFs and climate-induced flooding.
