Although Nepal has made remarkable progress in the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sector from past few decades, the status of WASH, in terms of climate change, is poorly documented and thus less known. This review aims to sum up WASH in climate change perspectives by reviewing available secondary data from published and gray literature. Climate change, and its impact on the WASH sector, is undeniable. Though many policies and laws are enforced to address climate change issues, very few policies and laws have incorporated climate change-resilient WASH as a priority. It is of current need to carry out action-based research studies on adaptation and mitigation of impact on the WASH sector, due to climate change, along with future eco-region interventions.
