An environment conference opened in Nepali on Friday will discuss global climate change, including the highest Himalayas, including snow and ice melting.
The three-day conference “Climate change, mountains and the future of humanity” is expected to discuss the discussions of critical climatic problems in Kathmandu.
“Sagarmatha’nın (Everest) is the high peak of this message from the lap to protect this message to protect the mountains. To protect the mountains, protect the mountains.
Nepal is eight of the world’s tallest mountains, including Everest Mount. Due to the global warming, the high level of glaciers melted in the Himalayan mountains, increased signed concerns. Snow and ice melting exposed the mountains and increased rock slides, landslides and avalanches.
Scientists warned the Himalayas mountains, if the earth is warmed in the face or centuries, may lose 80% of their glaciers. It is said that flash floods and avalanches may be more likely in the coming years due to climate change.
“Today, the tragedy, the Himalayas, today a proof that brought only the fragile essence of our mountain ecosystems today,” Nepali Foreign Minister Arzu Rana Duba said. “As a mountainous country with a high risk of disaster, Nepal has a strange difficulty.”
Duba, Nepal, in the last past had a number of severe weather events in connection with the people and their livelihoods.
“Floods and glacial laps brought large-scale destruction and damage, drought, water shortage and forest fires in the country,” he said.
The conference is attended by ministers from neighboring India, Bhutan and the Maldives.
The organizers said they intend to publish the Kathmandu Declaration after the end of Sunday.
