ICIMOD's Medium-Term Action Plan (MTAP) V (2023-2026) - Towards a greener, more inclusive, and climate resilient Hindu Kush Himalaya

This region – the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) – is hit hard by the perfect storm of the triple planetary crises – climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss – compounded by the setbacks of the pandemic, conflict, and rising poverty and inequality. As we underscored in our Strategy 2030: Moving Mountains, the time for business as usual is over. We need to step up our engagement and support transformative action at scale and with urgency. In this four-year (2023-2026) planning document – our fifth Medium- Term Action Plan (MTAP V), we set out our roadmap for tackling the external challenges and transforming ourselves institutionally to more effectively do so. We have committed, through a refreshed mission, to the challenging and ambitious task of supporting policy and practice change towards the fulfilment of our new vision of a greener, more inclusive, and climate resilient Hindu Kush Himalaya. All our work is aimed at pursuing these agendas further, and this document provides the highest-level information on the structures and processes that will allow us to deliver practical outcomes and impacts from a more focused and prioritised portfolio.
