The HUC Academy 2018, titled “Climate Science and Adaptation in the Hindu Kush Himalayan Region—a Transdisciplinary Approach”, took place in Kathmandu and Pokhara from 1 to 14 July 2018, as part of a two-year grant made to the HUC by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). The project aims to advance knowledge of climate science and promote effective and sustainable adaptation measures. It seeks to scale up the impacts of previous and existing interventions made by the Indian Himalayas Climate Adaptation Programme (IHCAP) in the HKH, and promote regional collaboration between higher education institutions in India and neighbouring countries.
