Kathmandu. Nepal has urged the international community to establish issues related to mountain regions and climate change as a permanent and institutionalized agenda in the negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Nepal said that a separate action plan, regular dialogue, and high-level political commitment are essential to address the growing risks in Himalayan and mountain areas caused by the climate crisis, glacial lake outburst disasters, loss of life and property, and the severe impact on ecosystems.
Expressing Nepal’s position at the chair-level consultation on mountain regions and climate change held here under COP-31, Dr. Maheshwar Dhakal, Joint Secretary at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forest and Environment and Chief of the Climate Change Management Division, said that the crises in mountain regions should not be limited to discussion alone.
