SERVIR scientists discuss the how the Regional Drought Monitoring and Early Warning System is being used in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region.
The Regional Drought Monitoring and Outlook System (RDMOS) was developed to help predict, mitigate, and adequately respond to drought vulnerabilities in the HKH region.
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.
Remote districts of Western Nepal are experiencing what some claim is their worst drought in 40 years. Analyses prepared by the International Center for Integrated Mountain Development are helping the Government of Nepal evaluate the situation and make critical decisions about how to respond.
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.
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.
