KATHMANDU: Nepal is for the first time going to host an international dialogue on mountains and climate change.

The event will be convened in May.

The Ministry of Forests and Environment has said that they are going to hold a dialogue in Kathmandu on May 22 and 23 to forge a common understanding on issues of mountain region among all mountainous countries and to make the national and international initiatives related to the issue of mountain areas further effective.

Representatives of Nepal and other mountainous countries, subject experts and partner organizations will participate in the ‘International Dialogue on Mountains, People and Climate Change’.

Since 2009, Nepal has been raising its voice in international forums including the World Conference on Climate Change about the negative impact of climate change on the ecological system, people’s life and biodiversity of the mountainous region.

The International Conference on Climate Change (COP-28) held in Dubai last year decided to address the climate crisis in mountainous areas for the first time.

According to the decision, the 60th meeting of the Scientific and Technical Consultative Subsidiary Body (SBSTA) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was instructed to hold an expert discussion on mountains and climate.
