ADB Smart Linear Training series Day 1 FINAL
Day 1 will provide an overview and context of roads and biodiversity conservation in Asia and specifically Nepal. While roads play a critical role in pursuing sustained growth, they also cause a myriad of impacts on the ecological and physical environment. During the last two decades science-based solutions have been developed to reduce these impacts. International and national legislation and agreements on nature conservation and transportation infrastructure impacts and Nepal’s plans for transport infrastructure will be discussed to provide a solid foundation for the learning process and practice.
