Climate funds should reach the grassroots, says stakeholders

Sudurpaschim, Nov 16: Stakeholders have emphasized that the dividends that Nepal receives for its role in reducing carbon emissions should be reached to the grassroots.

At a two-day workshop organized in Dhangadhi on emission reduction under Nepal's REDD+, they said that since indigenous and marginalized communities are in the forefront in reducing emissions by protecting forests the dividends should also reached to them in a fair manner.
