December 12: The Mountain Advocacy Summit-2022 is to be organized in Mustang on March 13 and 14, 2022 to make the world aware of the impact of climate change on the mountainous region.    

The objective of the Summit is to draw the attention of all stakeholders towards the problems and challenges faced by the Himalayan region due to the effects of climate change, and towards the possibilities and opportunities as well.

    

The Summit is to be jointly organized by the Karnali Integrated Rural Development and Research Centre (KIRDAC –Nepal), The Mountain Foundation Nepal, the International Forum for Food Security and Climate Justice, among other organisations.    

Executive Director of KIRDARC-Nepal, Govinda Bahadur Shahi informed in a press conference that the Summit is being held for discussing issues such as the increasing temperature due to climate change and its direct impact on the mountain ecosystem, the protection of biodiversity in the mountain region and coastal areas and the development of tourism.    

Stating that the mountainous region is at high risk of the impacts of climate change, Shahi underlined the need of informing the national and international sectors about this issue so as to reduce the risk.    

Former member of the National Planning Commission (NPC), Min Bahadur Shahi said advocacy at the citizens' level is required for having positive influence in policy-making at the national, regional and international levels in order to protect biodiversity, art, culture and civilization as well as the lifestyle of the people in the mountain and coastal areas.    

"It is necessary to provide services in an effective manner through the promotion of an accountable and responsible good governance system for the development and preservation of the mountain region. The development, conservation and preservation of this region will play an important role in the sustainable development of the entire planet and the biosphere, and not only of a specific geography and people's livelihood," Shahi added.-- RSS
