Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has emphasized to increase global cooperation and partnership to face the challenges caused by climate change.
Addressing the discussion session on ``Increasing the adaptive capacity and flexibility to be adopted by landlocked developing countries in disasters caused by climate change'' held on Wednesday during the Third United Nations Conference of Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDC), Prime Minister Oli said that even though Nepal contributes very little to carbon emissions, Nepal is suffering the adverse effects of climate change.
Prime Minister Oli called for coordinated work to face the challenge of sustainable development and reminded that the Everest dialogue program was organized with the concept of protection from the mountains to the sea in climate change as the melting of Nepal's glaciers poses human and material risks.
He emphasized that since Nepal has prepared a long-term integrated adaptation strategy for climate risk mitigation, foreign partner organizations should also help in its implementation.
Keeping the fact that the mountains are melting due to sea level rise, he asked the world community to make an integrated climate adaptation action plan from the mountains to the sea.
'Since the Himalayas are a natural recharge system, a global joint effort is necessary to prevent the melting of the mountains and the rise in sea temperature', Prime Minister Oli said, 'We have no choice but to speed up the global joint efforts for coordinated and integrated efforts to achieve the goal of sustainable development. There will be proper cooperation from Nepal. During the conference, Prime Minister Oli's scheduled formal programs for today have ended.
