Nepal’s National Land Cover Monitoring System represents a pivotal achievement and is poised to significantly enhance the country’s climate data and efforts to cut emissions and adapt to climate change. This system is important for assessing and overseeing the ever-changing landscape, which is crucial for the sustainable stewardship of Nepal’s natural resources.

SERVIR-HKH has developed land cover monitoring systems with a modular architecture built on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) computational platform.
Forested areas are important to our planet's health because they take in large amounts of carbon and release oxygen. When forests are removed or degraded, less carbon is taken from the atmosphere, and the result is increased carbon emissions, which may hasten climate change and increase its impact.
The NASA International Space Apps Challenge is an international mass collaboration engaging developers, Geographic Information System (GIS)-savvy students, engineering students, and entrepreneurs to work together on solving challenges relevant to improving life on Earth and in space.
The International Space Apps Challenge hackathon was held in Kathmandu, Nepal, 23 to 24 April 2016. The event was hosted and co-organized by the SERVIR-Hindu Kush Himalaya program.
This collection of case studies is a companion to the SERVIR Service Planning Toolkit. It provides concrete examples from SERVIR’s experience, and that of our partners, applying the Service Planning approach.
SERVIR hubs joined over 185 other locations in 69 countries across the globe in hosting the 2017 NASA International Space Apps Challenge.
The FRTC, which is under the jurisdiction of Nepal’s Ministry of Forests and Environment, is the government-sanctioned organization that is responsible for forestry research and survey activities at the national level.
The crucial role forests play in our world cannot be underestimated. To enhance preservation and monitoring of this natural resource, SERVIR and SilvaCarbon launched a series of global workshops this year in West Africa, Eastern and Southern Africa, Hindu-Kush Himalaya, and the Lower Mekong region on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) applications.
