He appreciated AMN for its initiatives to create awareness on climate change issues.
“I believe we can contribute to clean and green nature-based solutions to the prevailing climate change and environmental issues. I also strongly raised the issue in the recent COP26 Summit,”PM Deuba said.
In their separate addresses, former PMs KP Sharma Oli, Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal, appreciated the AMN initiative while also underscoring the need for collaboration in the fight against climate change.
At the launching event, AMN signed a Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) with several organizations to work together on climate change.
