Learn why the French Ambassador to Nepal walks from home to office every day

François-Xavier Léger is the French Ambassador to Nepal since September 2018. Among the diplomats in Kathmandu, he stands out for a different lifestyle. For instance, he walks (does not drive) from his residence to the office every day.

Léger, who is claimed to be one of the leading personalities to conceptualise and develop the Green Embassy project, says he wants to be thoughtful of the impact he leaves on the host country and the environment. Similarly, the diplomat says he does not want to be entitled and take for granted the hospitality he has been offered, instead express his gratitude by reducing his carbon footprint, under any project he gets involved in.
