Saurav Dhakal is a British Council Climate Champion from Nepal who has more than a decade of experience as a journalist and storyteller reporting on public issues such as climate change and sustainability for media organisations such as Vashuda environmental fortnightly, Kantipur Television, Nepal info-park and Storycycle.com.

The winner of the South Asian Climate Change Award (SACCA) Fellowship 2012 from Panos South Asia, Saurav recently completed a gruelling three-month, 1,555 kilometre trek that took him and Apa Sherpa, a mountain climber who has reached the summit of Mount Everest 21 times, through some of the highest Himalayan passes in order to assess the impacts of climate change on the environment and on vulnerable populations.

His current focus is on grassroots adaptation methods developed by mountain people in Nepal, the transmission of such techniques across the region and the socioeconomic impacts of climate change in South Asia. His goal is to produce extensive communication materials that the government and people of Nepal can use to showcase the impact of climate change on the Himalayas and Himalayan communities and to influence international climate negotiations.
