A half day knowledge sharing forum meeting on “Understanding Meso-level Institutional Responses to Climate Change” was organized on 12th December 2012 from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm at LDTA Hall, Jawalakhel, Lalitpur . It was jointly organized by ForestAction Nepal, Southasia Institute of Advanced Studies (SIAS) and Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS). The objective of this forum was to provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to reflect, analyze, share and disseminate their research and experiences. This will also help document innovative responses of local institutions to climate change and theorize the links between meso-level institutions and climate change adaptation.
