Nepal has proposed several adaptation strategies including focusing on agriculture, water resources, forests, biodiversity, health, and integrating sectors. Some ways to strengthen adaptation discussed are handing over national forests to communities, land reform, improving natural resource governance, enhancing community capacity, and increasing resiliency. Over 35% of national forests have been handed over to about 40% of households, and communities now have access, use, and management rights over forests. Devolving more control to communities over natural resources is seen as a way to increase resiliency.
