A tripartite approach to combat climate change through comprehensive EV policies in Nepal

Nepal, with its breathtaking landscapes and cultural richness, is facing the harsh impacts of climate change. While global leaders engage in discussions at fancy conferences in COP28 Nepal is standing at the forefront of the battle against climate change. The tripartite approach involving local, provincial, and federal governments is crucial for implementing and enforcing comprehensive policies, with a specific focus on promoting Electric Vehicles (EVs) to foster clean mobility and energy.

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal is participating in COP28. Despite securing various commitments for funding, the effectiveness of these financial resources hinges on the imperative task of reforming clean energy and electric vehicle policies within Nepal. Simply obtaining funds may prove futile unless our nation addresses and rectifies its internal governance frameworks. In this context, the key lies not just in obtaining green funds, but in devising and implementing robust policies. A pivotal element in this process is the adoption of a tripartite approach involving local, provincial, and federal governments. This collaborative effort is essential for the successful implementation and enforcement of comprehensive policies, particularly those geared toward advancing the cause of clean mobility and energy, with a specific emphasis on promoting Electric Vehicles (EVs).
