Nepal Raises Mountain Issue at Peru Meet

Nepal has called on global leaders to provide urgent and greater investments in the vulnerable communities in the mountains. In a statement presented on behalf of the Least Developed Countries (LDC) at the ongoing at the 20th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change at Lima, Peru, on Wednesday, Ram Prasad Lamsal, joint-secretary at the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment (MoSTE) said mountainous region, that is home to billions of people and serves as repository of freshwater, biological and cultural diversity, has been witnessing increasing incidences of flash-floods and landslides causing loss of infrastructures and settlements. Due to erratic monsoon patterns, heavy rainfall over a limited period, natural disasters have been affecting hydro-power development, roads, bridges and settlements,” Lamsal said in the statement, adding, “We want a special climate change related programme in the mountains for the well-being of communities living along upland and lowland areas.” Due to various disasters, the loss of human lives in the last summer alone exceeded 500 in Nepal.
