Nepal on Sunday urged the global community to strengthen climate cooperation and ensure justice for vulnerable countries during the COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil. The Nepali delegation, led by Agriculture and Livestock Development Minister Dr Madan Prasad Pariyar, called on developed nations to finally deliver the climate finance they have promised for years.
Speaking at the ministerial session, Nepal highlighted how climate change is hitting the country harder each year. Rapid glacier melt, shifting monsoon patterns, severe droughts, unusual floods, and growing pressure on agriculture were presented as urgent challenges that require stronger global attention. Nepal repeated its long-standing request for the UN climate process to formally include mountain issues, noting that Himalayan ecosystems face unique and accelerating risks.
