Bangladesh's Environment, Forest and Climate Minister Saber Hossain Chowdhury and Bhutan's Agriculture and Livestock Minister Younten Phuntso have arrived in Nepal to join the conference. The event is titled 'International Dialogue on Mountain, People, and Climate.' Nepal has consistently highlighted the adverse effects of climate change on the mountainous ecological systems, the lives of people, and biodiversity in international forums. The United Nations Climate Conference (COP-28), held in Dubai last year, marked the first significant initiative to tackle the impact of climate change on mountain areas. The Dubai conference directed the 60th meeting of the SBSTA to discuss mountain and climate change issues at an expert level.
