An incredible moment discussing the critical impacts of climate change in the Himalaya with the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Everest region.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I just left Nepal where I saw how glaciers are dramatically retreating.

We cannot retreat.

We need #ClimateAction now to end the fossil fuel age.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I want to express my deep gratitude for the wonderful hospitality I enjoyed from the government & people of Nepal.

As a leading example of #ClimateAction & the second largest contributor to @UNPeacekeeping, Nepal deserves the full solidarity of the international community.

Thank to the UNDP for allowing me share my thoughts and experiences on the alarming rate of change in our mountains and our need for immediate action.

[UNDP in Asia and the Pacific @UNDPasiapac]

Despite great progress, we have taken our planet for granted, destabilizing the very systems we need to survive. Nepal's🇳🇵@dawasteven sees the impacts of #ClimateChange on the glaciers he knows so well. #APacHDR
