The first edition of the Everest Dialogue focuses on the concept of 'Climate Change, Mountains and the Future of Humanity'.

"It is an important platform for everyone," she said, "here, the aim is to communicate about the various problems of the human world and reach a conclusion for the solution."
According to Minister Rana, there will also be sideline meetings during the Everest Dialogue. Arrangements have also been made for foreign guests to meet with the Prime Minister and their counterpart ministers. I believe that Nepal can play the role of diplomatic leadership through dialogue," she said. In the first edition of the
Everest dialogue, 5 concept sessions will be held, namely 'Beyond the mountain: connecting the mountain to the ocean', 'Green economy', 'Climate justice and the future of humanity', 'Measures to avoid, reduce and address damage' and 'Global and regional partnerships'. On the last day of the
program, the 'Sagarmatha dialogue will be announced'. Before the announcement, it is planned to give the invited guests an aerial flight to see Mount Everest. The government had prepared the Everest dialogue project in 2076. But due to the Covid-19 epidemic, it was postponed at the last moment. At that time, KP Sharma Oli was the prime minister.
