  • Improving Adaptive Capacity and Resilience in Bhutan
    Mitig Adapt Strateg Glob Change (2011) 16:515–533 DOI 10.1007/s11027-010-9277-3 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Improving adaptive capacity and resilience in Bhutan Harsha Meenawat & Benjamin K. Sovacool Received: 21 October 2010 /Accepted: 18 November 2010 / Published online: 2 December 2010 # Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010 Abstract Bhutan, a small least developed country in the Himalayan Mountains, faces five current climate change related vulnerabilities: landslides and flooding, deteriorating agricultural production, impoverished forests, worsening health security, and impaired hydroelectricity generation. The country is attempting to adapt to these challenges through two globally sponsored adaptation efforts. One is the “Reducing Climate Change-induced Risks and Vulnerabilities from Glacial Lake Outburst Floods in the Punakha-Wangdue and Chamkhar Valleys” project, or GLOF, a $7.7 million project being funded by the Global Environment Facility, United Nations Development Program, and the government of Bhutan. Another is the GLOF Risk Reduction Project in the Himalayas, or GRRP, a $730,000 program funded by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). These projects offer great potential for improving infrastructural, institutional, and community resilience within Bhutan, but must also overcome a series of pernicious social, political, and economic challenges if they are to succeed. Keywords Bhutan . Adaptive capacity . Climate change adaptation . Resilience 1 Introduction The Himalayan range of mountains is greatly affected by climate change, the most noticeable consequence the accelerated melting of glaciers. As glaciers recede, supra-glacial lakes form which can contribute to the severe risk of uncontrollable flooding. With a geographic area smaller than Switzerland, Bhutan is home to 983 of these glaciers and 2,794 glacial lakes (Nayar 2009).

    Free-Flowing Rivers The Soul of South Asia About International Rivers International Rivers protects rivers and defends the rights of communities that depend on them. We seek a world where healthy rivers and the rights of local river communities are valued and protected. We envision a world where water and energy needs are met without degrading nature or increasing poverty, and where people have the right to participate in decisions that affect their lives. We are a global organization with regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America. We work with river-dependent and dam-affected communities to ensure their voices are heard and their rights are respected. We help to build well-resourced, active networks of civil society groups to demonstrate our collective power and create the change we seek. We undertake independent, investigative research, generating robust data and evidence to inform policies and campaigns. We remain independent and fearless in campaigning to expose and resist destructive projects, while also engaging with all relevant stakeholders to develop a vision that protects rivers and the communities that depend upon them.
