    Local projections of future sea-level change are important for understanding climate change risks and informing coastal management decisions. Reliable and relevant coastal risk information is especially important in South Asia, where large populations live in low-lying areas and are at risk from coastal inundation. A new set of local sea-level projections for selected tide gauge locations in South Asia have been produced over the 21st century under the RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios by the UK Met Office for the Asia Regional Resilience to a Changing Climate Programme.

    This is the ensemble average annual mean temperature data from 1981 to 2100 for 77 districts of Nepal. This data was prepared using four RCP4.5 and four RCP8.5 models with spatial coverage of whole Nepal at 10 km by 10 km resolution. It also contains the standard deviation to show the variability among the models in each RCP.

    A comparison between male and female population residing in the Koshi Basin Districts in various parameters shows more male population who have higher literacy rate, higher rate of land and house ownership, involved in higher income generating jobs as well as 76% of men are also head of household compared to female despite the fact that there are equal population women and men.

    Poverty and Vulnerability Assessment (PVA) is a district level household survey to understand vulnerability of households to environmental and socioeconomic changes with focus on mountain specificity as well as their coping strategies and adaptive capacity. Under the Adaptation to Change program, the Himalaya Climate Change Adaptation Programme (HICAP) initiative have conducted the survey among 1987 households across 5 prefectures in Yunnan provinces in the Upper Brahmaputra sub-basin in China. The households were selected following a probability based multi-stage cluster sampling approach.

    As part of climate change impact monitoring program on biodiversity, UWICER has initiated HEROES program in 2015. 17 schools covering different altitudinal gradient and geographic region were selected as monitoring sites. In each school, weather station was installed that logs weather data such as temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, soil moisture, wind speed and wind direction every 10 minutes. Also, at the same location, the project monitor and records phenological events and its timing such as budburst, flowering and fruting on an yearly basis. This dataset consists of daily and monthly temperature and precipitation data for 2015-2020 period derived from weather station data collected at 10 minute interval at Tangmachu School in Lhuntse, Bhutan.

    Poverty and Vulnerability Assessment (PVA) is a district level household survey to understand vulnerability of households to environmental and socioeconomic changes with focus on mountain specificity as well as their coping strategies and adaptive capacity. Under the Adaptation to Change program, the Himalaya Climate Change Adaptation Programme (HICAP) initiative have conducted the survey among 1139 households across 3 Union Councils in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan provinces in the Upper Indus sub-basin in Pakistan. The households were selected following a probability based multi-stage cluster sampling approach.

In each school, weather station was installed that logs weather data such as temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, soil moisture, wind speed and wind direction every 10 minutes. Also, at the same location, the project monitor and records phenological events and its timing such as budburst, flowering and fruiting on an yearly basis. This dataset consists of daily and monthly temperature and precipitation data for 2015-2020 period derived from weather station data collected at 10 minute interval at Galing School in Trashigang, Bhutan.
