Addressing a panel discussion on ‘Living Sagarmatha’ organized at Nepal Pavilion under COP31 today, President Bhandari underscored the need of international solidarity and collaboration for the conservation of mountainous areas. <\/p>\n
She said that although Nepal’s contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions is less than 0.1 percent, it is facing a disproportionate impact of climate change. She said that the protection of mountainous areas should be prioritized in global climate action. <\/p>\n
Minister Chaudhary stressed the need for the implementation of ‘Living Sagarmatha: Nepal Mountain Resilience Strategy’, early support to the affected communities through the Loss and Damage Response Fund and commitment towards the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. <\/p>\n
Similarly, she called for the inclusion of mountain issues as a permanent agenda in the UN climate process. <\/p>\n
Making it clear that mountain resilience could not be built reliably on the basis of loans, she stressed the need for grant-based climate finance and international cooperation for the protection of mountain regions and their communities. <\/p>\n
