अन्ताल्यामा नेपालको नतिजाविहीन बाक्लो भेला

Nepal's unproductive large gathering in Antalya

Nepal's jumbo delegation at the ongoing 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP-31) in Antalya, Turkey, has appeared diplomatically unsuccessful. Despite the team, including Foreign Minister Shishir Khanal, Finance Minister Dr. Swarnim Wagle, and dozens of ministers and parliamentarians, proposing a separate agenda for climate justice and the mountain region, it was rejected on the very first day due to a lack of preparation and lobbying. Developed nations exercised their veto on the proposal out of fear of legal liability. The 20 million US dollars grant received by Nepal at the conference is extremely low compared to the damage of over 5 billion dollars. The Nepali delegation has been criticized for spending time only on pavilion inaugurations and formal speeches. Although the conference president has assured to organize two research dialogues in Germany, Nepal has had to face a serious diplomatic setback on the global stage.
