Climate change magnifies too much and too little water (TMTL) issues to the transboundary Koshi River Basin’s 40 million people. The Lower Koshi Basin especially experiences regular floods as well as chronic water scarcity and management issues that displace communities and damages crops and infrastructure.

It’s crucial to note that these challenges don’t affect everyone equally. Women, marginalised groups, people with disabilities, and children are disproportionately impacted. The HI-GRID project tackles this challenge by strengthening disaster preparedness and exploring alternative livelihoods.
