United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres, who is currently on a four-day official visit to Nepal, has pledged support for mitigating the impact of climate change in Nepal.
Guterres, who arrived at the Annapurna Base Camp this morning, acknowledged that climate change caused by development and industrial nations has adverse implications in Nepal which has no significant role in causing it.
Stating that global warming, a key aspect of climate change, has led to a rising level of snow melting, resulting in more incidences of landslides and floods.
Calling upon the rich and industrial nations to scale up the implementation of climate change coping strategies, he urged them to assist Nepal in its efforts to cope with the impact of climate change.
The UN Secretary General arrived here on a Nepali Army helicopter and upon his arrival, he was welcomed by local officials including Annapurna Rural Municipality Chair Bishnu Bahadur KC, Chhomrong Tourism Committee office-bearers and local tourism entrepreneurs.
