Nepal must further strengthen its climate diplomacy readiness – Foreign Minister Khamal

Foreign Minister Shishir Khamal stated that prior preparation and continuous diplomatic efforts are necessary for Nepal to play an effective role in climate diplomacy during the COP-31 conference. Discussing Nepal's efforts to include the mountain agenda in the formal agenda of climate negotiations, he mentioned that the process of gathering international consensus is challenging. Minister Khamal stated that positive progress is being made in Nepal's priorities, including the 1.5-degree Celsius temperature limit, grant-based climate finance, and the establishment of a mountain work program. Highlighting Nepal's lack of institutional experience and continuity, he emphasized the need for long-term preparation. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called the damage equivalent to 10 percent of Nepal's Gross Domestic Product unjust.
