Freshwater Ecosystem Vulnerability Assessment: The Indrawati Sub-Basin, Nepal
July 2011 - by Ryan Bartlett, Sarah Freeman, Jonathan Cook, Bhawani S. Dongol, Roshan Sherchan, Moon Shrestha, and Peter G. McCornick
This report is part of a project of WWF Nepal and the Nepalese Water and Energy Commission Secretariat (WECS). It outlines the discussions and conclusions of three workshops held in Nepal to determine the vulnerability of the Indrawati sub-basin to the impacts of climate change and development within the context of climate change vulnerability at the national level. Held over the course of four days in Kathmandu and in the Sindhupalchok district headquarters of Chautara, the workshops brought together a diverse group of more than 60 participants, including Nepali national experts, local bureaucrats, and most importantly, local water users and subsistence farmers with direct knowledge of resource management issues in the basin.

Do Recent Scientific Findings Undermine the Climate Benefits of Carbon Sequestration in Forests?
April 2006 - by Lydia Olander
Recent scientific papers document previously unknown or under-reported methane emissions and water trade-offs that could reduce the benefits from terrestrial carbon sink practices such as reforestation and plantations. This Nicholas Institute report examines the policy implications of these findings. The report is a consensus document from a roundtable of top experts convened at the Institute earlier this year.
