Nepal Energy and Environment Development Services (NEEDS) is a multidisciplinary consulting and research organization with direct experience in renewable energy, environmental and social safeguards, carbon market mechanisms, and stakeholder engagement across Nepal’s energy and infrastructure sectors.
We work at the intersection of environment, energy and climate policy — helping government agencies, development partners, municipalities and the private sector plan, assess and monitor projects that reduce emissions, protect communities, and build climate resilience.
What We Do
- Environmental and social baseline assessments and safeguard planning
- Climate risk and vulnerability assessments
- GHG accounting, emissions inventories and monitoring, reporting & verification (MRV)
- Stakeholder engagement and Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) integration
- Renewable energy and biogas/biomass technology assessment

Our Approach
Our approach is structured, evidence-based and proportionate to the scale of each assignment — combining rigorous desk-based analysis with field verification where needed and always grounded in direct engagement with the communities and institutions our work affects.
