Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' has said that he will clearly state the impact of global warming in Nepal during the 28th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 28) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Addressing a peace lamp handover and flag hoisting programme organised by Nepal Mountaineering Association at Kalapatthar of Everest Base Camp, Solukhumbu, he said rather than seeking assistance for mitigating global warming, the right for a good environment would be raised in the conference. “We cannot pay the price for things we haven’t committed. Those accountable for carbon emissions should take responsibility and provide compensation through the Climate Fund. Rather than seeking assistance in COP-28, preparations are underway to present the issue as a matter of right rather than a demand,” he added.
