Nepal has strongly voiced its climate concerns at the UN climate conference being held in Baku of Azerbaijan as the nation is forced to bear the untold burden of natural disasters, lost livelihoods, emerging health problems, depleting water sources and unpredictable weather phenomena. Delivering his keynote address at the 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 29), President Ramchandra Paudel raised the paramount issues of climate justice, climate financing and the redressal of the loss and damage caused by climate change impacts. Occurrence of devastating rain-induced disasters over the years have brought significant damage and losses to Nepal's physical infrastructures, people's lives and properties. These calamitous events have been attributed to rising temperatures and unusual shifts in weather patterns.
