Sharing research-based knowledge and promoting innovation are unprecedentedly critical for effective climate change mitigation and adaptation programmes worldwide, particularly in developing countries. This was the focus of the two-day conference (23-24 January) convened in Kathmandu by the Himalayan University Consortium (HUC), supported by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD). Scientists can significantly help advance policies to promote best and environmental practices in all socio-economic spheres including agriculture, livestock rearing, irrigation, water management, environmental-friendly drainage and sanitation.
