What happened
During the UN General Assembly, Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah proposed a Himalayan Climate Resilience Mechanism involving China, India, and Nepal. This body would coordinate on climate-resilient development by sharing resources such as satellite imagery, early-warning systems, and post-event humanitarian assistance. The proposal was made against the backdrop of Nepal's NDC 3.0, which requires financial support from developed countries.

Shah noted that a recent World Bank report indicated climate change could reduce Nepal’s GDP by at least 7 percent by 2050 if no actions are taken. The Prime Minister asserted that Nepal is entitled to climate finance and climate justice.
