DiscussionThe story behind the news.

Nepal is taking the case for funding mountain communities’ response to climate change to COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye. Nepal’s foreign ministry named Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal to lead its delegation. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s Mountain Partnership lists a November 9 session on how to raise money for adaptation in mountain regions. [evidence-1] [evidence-2]

Nepal is organising the session with Bhutan, Kyrgyzstan, the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development and the ZOI Environment Network. The session is relevant to India because it is part of the Hindu Kush Himalaya region that the centre serves. The programme lists a discussion on financing. It records no funding decision.
