AMN’s campaign aims to highlight climate change issues. Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba inaugurated the campaign amid a special function organized on January 7 in Kathmandu. To fight climate change individual steps are not enough and all stakeholders need to jointly work and raise their voices. Right now, these stakeholders are not working in unison and there is a lack of coordination, and hence no concrete output. AMN hopes to change this state of affairs by bringing together climate stakeholders and fostering meaningful interactions between them.
