Nepal PM urges climate justice, proposes Himalayan resilience mechanism at UN

Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah used the UN platform to argue that Nepal bears a disproportionate burden of climate impacts it did not cause, calling for a Himalayan resilience mechanism and regional cooperation with India and China. The proposal is a diplomatic push for climate finance and adaptation support, though its concrete outcomes remain uncertain. This signals Nepal's intent to elevate climate vulnerability in international negotiations.
