KATHMANDU: Finance Minister Dr Swarnim Wagle returned home today after participating in about a dozen programs at the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Climate Change (COP31) being held in Turkey. <\/p>\n
Finance Minister Wagle addressed the 7th Biennial Ministerial Dialogue on Climate Finance on behalf of 44 Least Developed Countries. Similarly, Nepal was included as the 105th (new) member of the ‘Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Issues’ established seven years ago and presented a policy concept on ‘Finance for Resilience’. <\/p>\n
Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley, who is leading a global recovery campaign, and British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, who is chairing the G20 grouping that accounts for 85 percent of the world’s economy, have pledged to work together on a special international package. <\/p>\n
Likewise, five influential climate envoys held discussions with Finance Minister Wagley to seek support on the issues raised by Nepal at COP31: Rachel Kite of the UK, Will Nancurvis of Australia, Mattias Froomeri of Sweden, Dale Weber of Jamaica and Selwyn Hart, Envoy of the UN Secretary-General. The Finance Minister also discussed the future course of action with the top leadership of the Green Climate Fund and addressed a program related to the Climate Measurement Fund of the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva where Nepal has also benefited. <\/p>\n
Finance Minister Wagle also met with Prof. Johan Raxstr\u00f6m and Prof. Nicholas Stern, who have earned fame in climate and economics. He gave an interview to the New York Times and attended an event honoring the world’s 100 most influential figures, including the finance minister, who has been chosen by Time magazine for 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
