Nepal's Climate Agenda

The world is again bracing to debate the climate issues and policies of different nations ahead of the 29th Conference of the Parties (COP) slated for 11 to 22 November 2024 in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan. The annual mega climate event is expected to fix new climate finance target as the promise of developed nations to contribute USD 100 billion a year has still been far from realisation. There lie two challenges – to increase the climate finance and enhance the access of the vulnerable nations to the promised funds. The COP 19 will feature the matters pertaining to the impact of Loss and Damage Funds, implementation of adaptation plans and the linkages between climate, nature, land and cities.
