Nepal has been witnessing extreme weather in regular intervals. We have a very fragile ecosystem which is highly vulnerable to extremities. Nepal is the fourth most vulnerable country in terms of Climate Change and usually encounters many adverse situations. Our geography is also very different and gets affected by extreme weather situations and conditions. We are between two big tectonic plates and often experience tremors of earthquakes now and then.

The 2015 Earthquake of Nepal was one incident which made people to think about the ways to tackle these issues. The 2015 Gorkha earthquake caused devastation across vast areas of Nepal, killing almost 9,000 people and leaving 3.5million homeless. Many people were homeless and many were forced to leave their houses. It not only afftected Gorkha but also affected all over Nepal.  It also triggered thousands of landslides that caused additional destruction to communities and infrastructure – and prompted landslides in the subsequent monsoon season to occur at steeper and higher hillslopes than in average years.
