President Ram Chandra Paudel is set to depart for Baku, Azerbaijan, today to participate in the 29th UN Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP29) at the invitation of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. Leading a senior Nepali delegation, Paudel will address the ‘World Leaders Climate Action Summit’ on Nov 12.
Nepal will also host a high-level session on Nov 13, led by President Paudel, to highlight the country’s climate agenda. Additionally, a dedicated meeting on “Addressing Climatic Loss and Damage in Mountainous Regions” will be held to focus on issues critical to Nepal.
One of the world's most climate-vulnerable nations, Nepal aims to bring attention to the impacts of climate-induced floods and landslides in regions like Melamchi, Mustang, Kanchanpur, and Kathmandu Valley. Nepal’s COP29 presentation will outline its National Adaptation Programme, a long-term climate strategy under the UNFCCC framework.
The COP29 conference will run from Nov 11-22, with President Paudel expected to return to Nepal on Nov 15.
