During a programme at Nepal pavilion on the sidelines of COP-28 in Dubai today, PM Dahal said preparations were underway to establish Nepal’s rights to receive compensation from loss and damage Nepal has suffered from climate change. “Even in the UN General Assembly, I was vocal on Nepal’s suffering in the face climate crisis. I raised that issue thinking of the life of future generation,” he reminded, adding that he also brought to light this issue at the interaction with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
