To all Nepalese ParliamentariansG
iven that:
• Climate impacts are already causing serious loss of life and destroying vital ecosystems
• Global average temperature, atmospheric greenhouse gases, and ocean acidity are already at dangerous levels, and
• As Nepal is in the phase of economic mobilisations to develop the nation, Its likely we suffer from the bad investment which can be an extreme threat. It is inexcusable to continue with climate-damaging policies that put us all in even greater peril. The Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C goal is not a safe goal.
We call on all Nepalese federal, state, and territory parliaments and all local governing bodies to:
• Declare a climate emergency
• Commit to providing maximum protection for all people, economies, species, ecosystems, and civilisations, and to fully restoring a safe climate
• Mobilise the required resources and take effective action at the necessary scale and speed
• Transform the economy to zero emissions and make a fair contribution to drawing down the excess carbon dioxide in the air, and
• Encourage all other governments around the world to take these same actions as least developed countries like Nepal around the globe are suffering the most due to Climate change.
• Ban on single-use carrier bags as it reveals less than 10% of the plastic ever made has been recycled and countries aren’t doing enough to curb pollution
• Divest from fossil fuels, Mining, Deforestation. Invest in renewables, Reforestation
We call on all levels of government to do what is necessary now.
