Although being one of the countries in the world with least emissions, Nepal is one of the most vulnerable countries because of fragile ecosystems, poverty, slow economic growth and lack of resources for adaptation. For Nepal, climate change is not just an environmental phenomenon but also an economical, social and political issue.

Recognizing these factors, WWF Nepal initiated the Climate Change Program in August 2003 and later in 2006, alternative energy component was integrated in the program.  

The Climate Change and Energy Program of WWF Nepal focuses on four major areas.

1. International negotiation for a Global New Deal in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Impacts (UNFCCC)
2. Adaptation to climate change impacts
3. Alternative energy
4. Carbon Financing
