Nepal’s Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has pointed out that Nepal continues to bear the larger impact of climate change despite its low carbon emission rates. Deuba made the statement while launching a campaign against climate change with the aim to raise awareness against climate crises–the “Unity for Sustainability” run by Annapurna Media Network (AMN). Hailing the launch of the campaign as an important mark to raise awareness and increase dialogue about the impact if climate change, Deuba also called on all the stakeholders to stand and work together.
“The impacts of climate change on Nepali people’s livelihood is grave. Though Nepal’s contribution to greenhouse gas emission is minimal, we have been bearing the burden of climate change with temperatures rising higher than before. Our glaciers are receding, snowfall is decreasing and snows are melting in the Himalayan region,” Deuba added. He also said that the Government of Nepal is working to draft short and long-term plans targeting the COP26 climate summit held at Glasgow last year in UK.
