Foreign Minister Arju Rana Deuba has said that climate change is a borderless crisis that knows no geography and borders and is a crisis of human civilization, so collective cooperation of all countries is necessary to solve this problem. He said this while addressing the conference of parliamentarians of the countries of the Hind Kush Himalaya region that started today in Kathmandu.
This is a common problem against human civilization. It does not recognize any country, geography or political party. In this way, a solution should be found. For this, everyone's joint effort is necessary,' she said.
Minister Rana said, 'We have gathered at such a time that the climate crisis is no longer just a forecast of the future but a daily reality. Now everyone should play a role in making laws as a national agenda, mobilizing resources and making the government accountable.'
He clarified that the efforts of the government alone are not enough to deal with climate change, loss of biological diversity, reduction of clean air and other environmental problems, and said that this responsibility belongs to everyone. In a recent report of the World Meteorological Organization, she mentioned the fact that the temperature of the earth has increased by 1.5 degrees Celsius per year and emphasized that rapid emission reduction, long-term cost reduction and the achievement of sustainable development goals are indispensable to improve this serious risk situation.
Minister Rana said the recent judgment of the International Court of Justice made it clear that states have a legal duty to protect the climate, reduce emissions, deal with its serious impacts and prevent transboundary harm. Stating that the recent floods in India, Pakistan and Nepal have claimed many lives, destroyed infrastructure and left many still missing, she also clarified that the most serious impact is on the Hindu Kush Himalayan region. He said that Nepal is at serious risk among the climate-sensitive countries of the world facing earthquakes, melting glaciers, irregular rainfall, loss of biological diversity, floods and landslides. Minister Rana said that even though Nepal's carbon emissions are very negligible, Nepal is suffering from climate injustice.
She recalled the first edition of the Everest Dialogue held in Kathmandu last May, where leaders, thinkers and policymakers from around the world gathered and a 25-point roadmap was issued.
