Nepal has not set a target to reduce carbon emission according to the intended nationally determined contribution (INDC) pledge. This will promote a low carbon economy and enhance carbon trading which will help to combat climate change, create pressure to reduce emissions, improve the economy, generate more employment opportunities and accelerate development. Manjeet Dhakal, technical advisor to the Ministry of Environment Science and Population, says that Nepal can go for a viable mitigation approach instead of limiting itself to adaptation because it is a negligible emitter of greenhouse gases.

RATNAPARK-OUR RESPONSIBILITY

Image
Shocked!! is this how Ratnapark looks ??? i never thought it would be very Peaceful, green ...wow even ponds, fountains though dirty since last 7 years- It was the first time i ever entered in the premises... and i was very lucky because the first time i entered was the first time when KMC restricted the entrance of public.

TWO DAYS CAMPAIGN AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

With all excitement and motivation first day with fruitfulness began from Bhirkutimandap where bus was waiting for all 100 participants.

Now this is where my story gets interesting. since we were 4 friends, one of my friend had to return to his home for a while due to some reason, but he would be back on his own in the training center, so we were three now, i had to sit alone on that seat ......after few minutes a girl came and asked me if anyone was seating by my side then i replied "no, you can seat".  Now we w...
