Inspiring to hear from @DefraGovUK partners and @WhitleyAwards winners working at the frontline of the climate and biodiversity crisis in Nepal. Their work shows how nature & people can thrive together when solutions are locally led

[UK in Nepal 🇬🇧🇳🇵 @UKinNepal]

UK is steadfast in commitment to supporting the Mountain Agenda under Nepal’s leadership. Baroness Hayman represented UK at Nepal's "Sagarmatha Sambad" (Everest Dialogue) reinforcing 🇬🇧 commitment to address climate crisis that in this region alone could impact 1.9bn downstream

Reforestation can help capture carbon, restore biodiversity, & create green breathing space. In Kathmandu today Baroness Hayman saw how @JaneGoodallInst is supporting a thriving 'pocket forest' as a powerful example of urban #regreening
