Successful Sambaad

Nepal has set another milestone in climate diplomacy with the successful conduct of Sagaramatha Sambad, which has made a clarion call to fight the disastrous impacts of climate change. The three-day conference issued a 25-point 'Sagarmatha Call for Action' that has emphasised limiting the global average temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius, building adaptive capacity and resilience, addressing loss and damage and strengthening partnerships among the nations. The convergence of national and foreign dignitaries, policy makers and experts succeeded in drawing global attention to the urgency of collective action to tackle the biggest threat facing humanity.
