नेपालले अब बर्षा देख्न हप्ता होइन महिना/हरु नै कुर्नु पर्ने सम्भावना छ
तेसैले धान काट्ने काम मजाले गर्नुस
गएको हप्ताको बर्षाले धेरै किसानको धानमा पुराएको क्षेतीले दुखि बनायो समयमै मौसम पूर्वानुमान गर्दा पनि किन जोगाउन सकिएन होला?
No rain forecast next 2-wk so more air pollution

When it comes to climate change solutions, it's true that governments and big businesses hold the most power.

But there's a lot we can do, too. The trick is knowing what to prioritize. That's why we ranked the 19 climate-friendly choices, with data from 47 academic journal articles: https://t.co/cTS67l0jP3

🐅Tigers are keystone species. They are essential to a healthy ecosystem.

As we celebrate #InternationalTigerDay, @UNDP in partnership with @theGEF is proud to support local efforts across tiger-range countries -🇳🇵🇧🇹🇮🇳🇲🇾 & more.

What magnificent creatures! Tigers transcend cultures roaming freely through our stories, art and imagination. But to stay safe and grow, they must also be able to roam freely across connected landscapes.
Just launched at #FFD4, the Tiger Landscapes Investment Fund (TLIF) is a bold new financing mechanism to channel public and private capital into protecting tiger habitats, while supporting surrounding community livelihoods.
@UNDP, in partnership with @UNCDF and the Tiger Conservation Coalition, backed by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment and Cartier for Nature, is all in. TLIF is already active in Thailand and Malaysia supporting MSMEs and local financial institutions, showing that purpose-driven catalytic finance can move mountains....and tigers! https://t.co/qLepW2NTOA
