🌧️It’s already raining & the forecast warns of very heavy rainfall tonight & over the next 24hrs🇳🇵 Rarely have forecasts been taken this seriously- with advisories, community relocations, highway closures, holidays, hotlines & rescue teams on alert

A truly heartbreaking day for Kathmandu and the country. Young people took to the streets to raise their voices, voices that deserved respect and attention. Instead, innocent and precious lives were lost. A sad day for us all. May we find strength to heal and recover together 🖤🙏

Weekend well spent at the #NDC3.0 Implementation Plan workshop, putting climate education at the heart of climate action.📚 Grateful to Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Ministry of Forest and Environment and partners for the leadership, support and collaboration. #ClimateEducation

Congratulations to Nepalese Youth for Climate Action #NYCA on 17 years of inspiring legacy and leadership in the climate movement! 🌏 Happy to be part of the 17th anniversary celebration!

Devastated to hear about the massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake off Russia’s east coast, triggering tsunami alerts across the Pacific, from Japan and Hawaii to the US West Coast. Thoughts with everyone affected and evacuated. Hoping for safety as the situation unfolds. 🌍🙏 #Earthquake #Tsunami

In Nepal, 76% of new passenger vehicles and 50% of light commercial vehicles sold last year were electric—far ahead of the 20% global average. #EV #CleanTransport #NepalClimateAction 🇳🇵 www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/b...

Nepal is facing a double climate crisis—drought in the Tarai and floods in the hills, with glaciers melting in the mountains. Glacial lakes risk bursting, and hundreds of farmers can’t plant paddy with dry spell. #ClimateEmergency kathmandupost.com/climate-envi...

Day 6: Midway through #SB62 - Hotter days, slower negotiations... where's the urgency? www.linkedin.com/pulse/day-6-...

Despite limited resources, many LDCs have submitted ambitious NDCs, informed by 1.5°C pathways—most w/ partial costing &dependent on international support. Implementation is a top priority. We urge others to raise ambition & submit NDCs in time, so #COP30 can focus on solutions, not on filling gaps.

On this #WorldEnvironmentDay 2025, let’s unite to #BeatPlasticPollution — “प्लास्टिक प्रदूषण अन्त्य गरौं” 🌍 Let this day be a moment of commitment to reduce plastic pollution—starting with simple choices like saying no to plastic bags and bottled water.

On the occasion of World Environment Day, Nepal’s largest political party, @NepaliCongress, has declared all its offices—across the country and abroad—as “No Plastic Zones.” #BeatPlasticPollution

🏔️ On #EverestDay, we honor the first ascent of Sagarmatha—while sounding the alarm. Glaciers are melting. Climate risks are rising. We echo the #SagarmathaCallForAction from the Sagarmatha Sambaad. 🌍 Act now to protect our mountains, people & planet. Save the mountains. Save our future.

The Fund for responding to #LossandDamage is set to roll out $250M in early support for vulnerable nations facing climate impacts. Proposals will open soon to finance country-led initiatives to address climate change-induced loss and damage. New blog by @manjeetdhakal.bsky.social and Sneha Pandey.

Happy New Year 2082 🇳🇵

We look forward to the next PSC and LDC Strategy Meetings to be hosted in Blantyre, Malawi. A critical chance for representatives from 45 LDC countries to deeply reflect on @COP29_AZ outcomes and prepare for the next round of climate negotiations #SB62 and #COP30 #ClimateAction #BetterTogether

Nepal's Draft NDC 3.0 under the #ParisAgreement, outlining climate action targets up to 2035 and informed by the outcome of first Global Stocktake, is now open for stakeholder input. 🇳🇵 www.mofe.gov.np/uploads/uplo...

Appreciation to 🇩🇪 and🇧🇷 for convening the 16th #PetersburgClimateDialogue at a time when global cooperation and collective action are crucial to tackle the climate crisis, and ensuring early engagement and political-level preparations for #COP30 @cop30amazonia.bsky.social 🇳🇵

Let us remember that peace and unity are the pillars of a strong nation. Violence and unrest only weaken us. We have overcome challenges before—let’s stand together for a peaceful, stable, and prosperous future. 🇳🇵

Preparation is in progress for the Sagarmatha Sambaad, a multi-stakeholder global dialogue forum initiated by Nepal 🇳🇵with the first edition focuses on the theme: ‘Climate Change, Mountains, and the Future of Humanity.’

Minister Arzu Rana Deuba🇳🇵at #Raisina2025 "Rising temperatures beyond 2°C threaten the world. Beyond funding, we need data, technology, and tools to predict cloudbursts, storms, and water availability. We must also climate-proof infrastructure and ensure insurance benefits the most vulnerable."

Happy Holi ! festival of colours, Colours bring happiness!

Pleased to share my reflections on #IPCC62 held in Hangzhou,along w/ perspective on key meeting outcomes🇳🇵@ipcc.bsky.social As climate risks escalate, timely & inclusive scientific assessments are crucial for shaping effective responses, delays are not an option. 👉 kathmandupost.com/columns/2025...

Last week in Hangzhou 🇨🇳, the city’s broad walkways, dedicated bike paths, and greenery on the daily commute to #IPCC62 were impressive. The IPCC AR7 WG3 chapter outlines now also include “mobility access & micromobility”—an important step for sustainable urban mobility!

We need more ambitious NDCs aligned with 1.5°C, with stronger emissions cuts. The urgency for scaled-up climate finance has never been greater. Nepal will continue to lead with bold action, championing the most vulnerable, incl LDCs, and inspiring global ambition. kathmandupost.com/columns/2025...

At the 62nd session of @ipcc.bsky.social #IPCC62 in Hangzhou 🇨🇳, discussing chapter outlines and timelines for the 7th Assessment Report to ensure the latest science informs the next #GlobalStocktake under the #ParisAgreement.
