Nepal's PM Says Global Order Has Failed to Address Climate Crisis, in UN Speech
Prime Minister Balendra Shah received applause at the UN General Assembly after criticizing the international response to climate change.
Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah received applause from fellow leaders at the UN General Assembly after delivering a speech in which he said the global order has failed to adequately address the climate crisis, according to Al Jazeera.
Shah's remarks reflected growing frustration among leaders of climate-vulnerable nations over the pace and effectiveness of international efforts to curb global warming.
Al Jazeera's report did not include further specifics on the policy measures Shah proposed or additional detail from his address.
Nepal, home to significant Himalayan glacier systems, has repeatedly raised concerns at international forums about the disproportionate impact of climate change on mountain and developing nations.
