The project developed strategies to help around 100 Himalayan villages adapt to the consequences of climate change and improve disaster prevention measures. A particular focus was on preparing the people in the affected regions to cope with reduced water supplies. Working together with the villagers, the project aimed at finding ways of managing future water shortages and anchoring these solutions at local level. Local climate change centres were set up in order to raise awareness among the population.
