Everest Dialogue: Experts warn that climate crisis will occur if the temperature of the earth is not stopped

Experts have warned that climate crisis will occur in the future if the temperature of the earth cannot be stopped. According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), 2024 is the hottest year in 130 years and climate experts have said that if it is not reduced in the coming year, a climate crisis will occur.

 

Due to the fact that rich countries have increased carbon and greenhouse gas emissions in the pursuit of development, climate change and disaster expert Dr. Dharmaraj Upreti said that its effect on the temperature of the earth is . "Now, if the world community does not reduce the level of carbon emissions by 2030, then we will go into crisis," he said, "and the 1.5 degree Celsius increase in temperature cannot be stopped." According to

users, the emissions of Europe and India are at the same level. India's contribution to greenhouse gas emissions is 7 percent, while the role of the whole of Europe is 7 percent . He said, "China's role is 30 percent". America's role is 13 percent. If it is not reduced, there is no doubt that a crisis will occur.

According to the 2019 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the impact of the earth's temperature rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius will fall unevenly on countries dependent on glaciers and main river systems. 2024 was described as the hottest year of the century. If you look at it like that, it is not only in Nepal that there is a crisis, but the temperature is increasing in many countries of the world,'' he said. According to

Upreti, Nepal was the third winter drought in 2024 after 2022 and 2023. The lack of rain has affected the forests, vegetation, energy sector and all. "Scientists finally called it a dangerous shortage of water," he says. "India and Germany also held a dialogue on climate change," he says, "now there is a European dialogue in Europe as well." Therefore, the world community has become aware of climate change. It is looking for a solution. According to

climate analyst Manjit Dhakal, Nepal has already prepared a plan to deal with climate change. For this, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli unveiled the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) commitment at the inaugural session of the first edition of 'Sagarmatha Dialogue 2025', which started in Kathmandu from Friday. Prime Minister Oli has said that Nepal has set a goal of reducing carbon emissions to zero by 2045.

"Five years ahead of the global target, Nepal has committed to net-zero emissions by 2045," Prime Minister Oli said, "Also, we are moving forward with climate change adaptation plans". We are turning our economy towards green . Also, we are linking sustainability to our national vision.

analyst Dhakal says that the 10-year-old NDC has planned what efforts to deal with climate change. "Even though our carbon emissions are negligible, some areas such as transportation and forest protection are included in this," he said. According to the NDC, Nepal needs 70 billion US dollars in 10 years to implement everything, and it mentions that Nepal will mobilize its own resources for the things that Nepal can do on its behalf. Nepal has clearly presented its plan. Whatever is said in it, we will do some work with our own resources," he said. "This sends the message that Nepal has played a leading role in the international community. It is said that international cooperation is needed to do more than that.

Nepal has handed over the commitment to reduce carbon emissions to zero to the President of COP-29, Mukhtar Babayev, Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan. This means that Nepal is committed to prevent the risk of climate change from increasing, climate change and disaster expert Dr. Upreti said. In addition, he said that Nepal has taken forward the initiative to connect the mountains to the island nation by keeping the climate needs at the center through the Everest dialogue. According to the

author, the global effort to maintain the 1.5 degree temperature limit proposed by the Paris Agreement is not enough . It is imperative to raise the demand for joint climate action among mountain, coastal and island nations to solve these interrelated challenges. "Our commitment means that we will influence other countries and reduce their emissions," he said. Affects island nations like the Maldives and Sri Lanka . That is why every country should be honest and fulfill its commitments. Nepal's mountains are called the 'water towers' of South Asia. He said that if there is no snow in the mountains and when the glaciers explode, there is a risk of floods and landslides.

In the three-day Everest dialogue that began on Friday, Nepal has taken an agenda including not allowing the risk of climate change to increase and for this to connect from mountains to island nations. He said that Nepal is trying to show everyone the importance of snow in the mountains and who will be affected if there is no snow. "This leads to erosion of arable land from land to land." This means that it is necessary to connect the islands from the mountains. Not only this, the Koshi River of Nepal is connected from Tibet. If it rains heavily in Tibet, there will be floods in Bhotekoshi in Nepal,' he adds, 'Bhotekoshi merges with Koshi . It goes through Bihar to Bangladesh . This means that Bangladesh will be affected if we do not find a solution in China. It means that it should be connected from Bangladesh to Tibet.'
