Nepal hosted a major South Asian Climate Conference this week in Kathmandu, bringing together ministers and environmentalists from India, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
The conference focused on Himalayan glacier loss, regional air pollution, and sustainable farming practices. Nepal’s Prime Minister emphasized the need for a joint South Asian response to climate risks.
Environmental experts believe the Kathmandu Declaration could inspire closer cross-border cooperation between South Asian nations, including India, Bangladesh, and Bhutan, on climate adaptation strategies.
