Nepal’s emergency proposal in the IPU General Assembly Elected by two-thirds majority <\/strong><\/p>\n Arusha, Tanzania. The emergency resolution on climate disaster presented by Nepal at the 153rd General Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in Arusha, Tanzania, has been elected with a two-thirds majority. <\/p>\n Speaker Dol <\/p>\n Prasad (DP) Aryal presented the emergency agenda titled ‘Urgent Parliamentary Action to Address Climate-Related Disasters and Strong Resilience in the Himalayan Region and Other Vulnerable Regions’. <\/p>\n Presenting the proposal, Speaker Aryal said that the increasing risk to the Himalayas, glaciers and glacial lakes due to climate change has added challenge to the human civilization. Referring to the recent climate-induced disasters faced by Nepal, he called for collaboration and responsibility among parliamentarians across the globe for climate justice and parliamentary accountability. Stating that passing Nepal’<\/p>\n s proposal was not only the responsibility of Nepal but also of the member states of the IPU and parliamentarians, Speaker Aryal stressed the need of making the parliamentary climate diplomacy more effective to deal with the climate crisis. <\/p>\n The proposal calls for the creation of a legal framework to ensure access to cross-border information systems and technologies related to climate and weather among member states, and to make the executives of the countries concerned accountable at the parliamentary level for the implementation of climate commitments. <\/p>\n Speaker <\/p>\n Aryal called on the world community not to blame it but to build common solutions for the protection of the people affected by climate disaster, justice and a safe future. <\/p>\n Speaker Aryal sought a vote of solidarity with the members of the General Assembly for a two-thirds majority required to include the emergency motion in the agenda. The vote on the motion was 901 in favour, 78 against, and 140 in neutral. Of the total 979 votes cast for and against, 653 votes were required for two-thirds of the total 979 votes cast. The motion received the required two-thirds majority. According to Rule 11(b) of the IPU General Assembly, if more than one emergency motion receives the required majority, the proposal receiving the most positive votes will be included in the agenda. Accordingly, the proposal of Nepal, which received the most positive votes, has been selected as an emergency issue. <\/p>\n Nepal’s proposal will now be discussed as an emergency agenda of the 153rd General Assembly of the IPU from 9 am today. <\/p>\n The meeting will deliberate on the challenges arising out of climate-related disasters, conservation of the Himalayas and glaciers, disaster risk reduction, early warning system, technology and financial support and parliamentary initiatives for enhancing resilience in vulnerable areas. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nepal’s emergency proposal in the IPU General Assembly Elected by two-thirds majority Arusha, Tanzania.
