KATHMANDU, Dec 27: The Government of Nepal has formed an international negotiation team for handling various multilateral negotiations including climate talks. The Prime Minister announced this initiative, emphasizing the need for a negotiation team with comprehensive authority. On the one hand, Nepal has not been able to attract climate finance at the expected level and on the other, the climate finance that has been brought into Nepal has not been used effectively. "We will continue to urge the world community to fulfill its obligations to reduce carbon emissions, which are the main cause of the climate crisis, and mobilize climate finance," the Prime Minister said. Prime Minister Dahal said that the themes presented by Nepal in the United Nations General Assembly and other meetings have received international attention.
