Nepal Creates Climate Diplomacy Section to Link Domestic Action

Nepal has created a new government section focused on climate diplomacy.

Its job is to connect climate problems inside Nepal with discussions between countries.

Nepal wants more international help for adapting to climate change and recovering from climate-related damage.

It is also seeking technology and money to respond to these problems.

Officials said climate change affects farming, roads, water, health, energy and government finances.

Nepal plans to build infrastructure that can better withstand future climate conditions.

It also wants warnings about glaciers, weather hazards and glacial lakes to reach vulnerable people quickly.

Nepal will raise these issues at future international climate talks, including COP31.

The government says scientists, local communities, Indigenous groups, businesses and young people should help shape its climate diplomacy.
