Objectives

The first Sagarmatha Sambaad on ‘Climate Change, Mountains and the Future of the Humanity’ will contribute towards further strengthening a multi-stakeholder approach to addressing the climate change with renewed political will, innovative initiatives and investments, and collaborations at regional and global scales.  

The specific aim of the dialogue is to:

  • Develop a shared understanding among nations for an integrated and holistic response to the impacts of climate change from mountain regions to coastal areas,
  • Advocate for a just solution to climate disasters faced by low-carbon emitting nations,
  • Promote multilateral cooperation and partnerships for climate finance, technology development and expansion, and capacity building, and
  • Take initiative to form a negotiating group of mountain countries in the regular negotiation process of the UNFCCC.
