Resilient Urban Infrastructure Building: Nepal is a country of hills, mountains, flood prone flatlands, and rivers which makes thousands of villages and towns naturally vulnerable. Increasing number of extreme weather events and climate change induced hazards and risks have exacerbated the vulnerability of these human settlements and associated livelihood and development infrastructure. Reducing the vulnerability of these overly exposed human settlements by developing resilient societies and systems is a key priority for Nepal. Studies have shown that integrating, synergizing, and complementing different knowledge systems, practices and tools to carry out hazard mapping, vulnerability assessment, and adaptation planning of rural and urban settlements helps vulnerable communities to reduce disaster risks. The vulnerability thus assessed focuses both human and ecological systems and building their combined adaptive capacity through EbA can help build resiliency in human and wild habitats in the short run and adaptation strategies in the long run. These integrated approaches are what EbA advocate and are found cost effective, socially acceptable and environment friendly.
