Kathmandu, Oct 26:
Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli reiterated that Nepal would eloquently enhance advocacies on climate action, highlighting climate change impacts from mountain to sea in the impending UN climate conference, COP-29.
The 29th edition of the UN Climate Conference is taking place in Baku of Azerbaijan from November 11 to 22 this year. President Ramchandra Paudel is leading the Nepali delegation to the annual global event.
In the National Climate Conference organized by the Ministry of Forest and Environment today, PM Oli assured that Nepal would strongly raise issues relating to climate justice for vulnerable country like ours as put forward by him in the 79th United Nations General Assembly.
Oli, during the conference, asserted that it was in the global interest to provide appropriate compensation to Nepal from the countries responsible for carbon emission and protect Himalayas from the adverse effects of climate change in the context of the mountains contributing to maintaining earth’s temperature.
UML-NC reinforce democracy
On a different note, the Head of the Government expressed his commitment to not let the democracy die since, he argued, the ruling coalition formed by his party CPN UML and the Nepali Congress (NC) have a history of championing democracy in the country.
Reiterating the incumbent government’s commitment towards democracy, he also highlighted the government’s resolution towards alleviating poverty and famine.
The PM mentioned, “We will not let the citizens die of hunger. We will not let poverty get us down. The present government is formed to lift people of poverty and hunger.”
