With strong progress in renewables, Nepal is highlighting both opportunity and urgency. Climate justice, inclusive planning, and support for vulnerable communities must guide the transition.

Through a series of consultation meetings this month, leaders emphasized a just and equitable transition shaped by country-driven pathways and development needs.

Nepal is setting clear priorities ahead of Santa Marta.🇳🇵

With rising impacts on marginalized communities and ongoing fossil fuel dependence, a phase-out must be backed by fair finance, strong policy, and people-centered solutions.

Bangladesh is advancing the conversation on a just transition. 🇧🇩
