Nepal’s carbon regulation moment

Delaying or sending mixed signals will make Nepal miss this new wave of opportunity entirely.

Nepal has entered a new phase of climate financing, with the recently published Carbon Trading Regulation, 2025 . Despite having one of the lowest per capita emissions in the world, with less than 0.05 percent of the global greenhouse gas emissions, the country remains vulnerable to climate change. The new regulation could be a game-changer for the country’s development trajectory, inviting not only environmental but also societal and economic benefits.
