International cooperation key in tackling adverse impacts of climate change, according to foreign minister Pradeep Kumar Gyawali.
Addressing a session on ‘Climate Change: The Next Financial Crisis?’ organised this morning – during the 13thWorld Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting of the New Champions being held in Dalian, People’s Republic of China – he underscored the need for an enhanced level of international cooperation in tackling the adverse impacts of climate change. He also highlighted the important contributions of Nepal's mountains, rivers and forests in maintaining the ecological system. “Nepal’s carbon emission is negligible but the ‘brunt’ we have been bearing is disproportionate,” he said, adding that it is in this light that climate justice must be promoted and that access to technology must be made easy and affordable.
Gyawali, on the occasion, also attended the opening plenary, which featured addresses by the premier of China Li Keqiang, and the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Prof Klaus Schwab.
In the afternoon, minister Gyawali participated – as a panelist – in the session on ‘Geopolitical Shifts’. While referring to rising geopolitical complexities and uncertainties, he underscored the need for promoting greater mutual trust and understanding among nations, as well as deeper levels of co-operation and collaborative efforts, for ensuring sustainable world peace. He stated that as problems confronting the world are increasingly broader and deeper both in their scope and magnitude, a rules-based international order- not ‘deals-based relations' was crucial in sustaining and nurturing global peace, harmony and co-operation.
On the margins of the annual meeting, Gyawali held a meeting with WEF president Borge Brende. They discussed on ways to enhance further cooperation between Nepal and WEF, especially in the areas of research and capacity building.
