Talking about the stance and presentation that Nepal should take at the international conference, the experts drew the attention of the world community to the fact that the impact of climate change on the mountainous region is not only a problem of the mountainous countries but also a problem of the entire world, and emphasized the need to move forward towards leading countries with similar geographical conditions.

Policy Advisor at the United Nations Development Program Vijay Singh expressed his belief that if Nepal can build solidarity among the participating countries in the conference on the issue of advancing the issue of the Himalayan region by establishing scientific facts along with political commitment, it will create a smooth environment for access to the Climate Change Damage Fund. He emphasized that Nepal should also take the lead of the countries of the Himalayan region.
Similarly, climate expert Manjit Dhakal pointed out the need for Nepal to lead the countries with mountains, including the countries in the lower and upper coastal regions, as Nepal has been raising the mountain agenda in various international forums for the past 15 years. He said that the conference can play an effective role in highlighting the impact of climate change on humans as well as the mountainous regions, and in establishing that this problem is not only a problem of the Himalayan region and the countries with mountainous regions, but also of the world.
Climate finance expert Pravinman Singh said that the conference is important in taking forward the achievements made by Nepal in the Himalayan region in an organized manner, along with the continuous initiatives taken by Nepal over the past 15 years. He also brought up the need to give the message to the world community that Nepal can play an international leadership role in climate-related world conferences in identifying and mobilizing financial needs to address the problems of the Himalayan region.
Climate expert Dr. Bimal Raj Regmi said that Nepal should be able to create an environment for integrating the issues of the mountainous region through the conference and taking the lead. If the issues of the mountainous region can be globalized and everyone can be integrated into the issue, he expressed confidence that Nepal can lead the countries of the mountainous region in the world-class climate conference in the future. Representatives of the world’s mountainous countries, subject experts and representatives of partner organizations will participate in the conference to be held in Kathmandu on 29 and 30 June.
