This document addresses climate change induced hazards such as floods, landslides, and droughts imposing significant stresses on the livelihoods of mountain people and downstream populations. It looks forward to improving society's adaptation strategies, and levelling structural inequalities that make adaptation by poor people more difficult, by strengthening local knowledge, innovations, and practices within social and ecological systems as well as strengthening the functioning of institutions relevant for adaptation.
