The climate resilience program implemented by the BEE group covers Gulariya, Barbardiya, Madhuwan, Rajapur Municipality, and Geruwa Rural Municipality of Bardiya district and Dhangadhi sub-Metropolitan City, Tikapur Municipality, and Janaki Rural Municipality of Kailali districts in partnership with Practical Action Nepal. In Kanchanpur, the program is implemented by another partner of Practical Action.

Climate Resilience Program focuses on climate-smart smart risk-informed development and embeds the Zurich-funded climate resilience program with other overarching projects that include “Resilience through Early warning system and insurance Transfer” (RESIST), “Index-based flood Insurance” (IBFI), and strengthening and localization of Multi-Hazard Early Warning system and Impact-based Forecasting in Sudurpaschim and Lumbini Province of Nepal. Climate Resilience Program is a cross-sector global collaboration between Zurich Insurance groups, NGOs, and academia and contributes to the alliance with three overarching objectives: (i) increase funding for climate-smart risk-informed development to build flood and heat resilience (ii) strengthen policy at global, national, or sub-national level to support climate-smart risk-informed development to build flood and heat resilience (iii) improve flood and heat resilience practice. The overall objective of the Climate Resilience Program and its overarching project are as follows;

            The overall Objectives of the program:

1. Funding for climate-smart risk-informed development with a focus on flood and heat resilience is increased and equitably disbursed.
2. Laws, Policies, Plans, and Strategies for climate-smart smart risk-informed flood and heat resilience are implemented.
3. Climate-smart smart risk-informed flood resilience practice becomes “business as usual.”

Overall desired outcomes (ambitions) of this program:

• Build ex-ante resilience of communities at risk of flood and heat impacts (prevent risk through enhanced adaptive capacity) by working together with decision-makers at all levels. 
• Improve early warning and early action in advance of probable hazard risk (reduce the probability and volume of losses through anticipatory action).   
• Enable people who experience livelihood losses due to floods and heat to recover quickly through compensation and/or insurance (avoid long-term erosion of resilience).
