Himalayan nations plan climate adaptation

Following a two-day summit in Bhutan, the Himalayan nations of India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan have decided to collaborate on ways to adapt to climate change.

The four Himalayan nations, that are facing the threat of weather changes, were part of the Climate Summit for a Living Himalayas that was held in Bhutan’s capital Thimphu this Saturday. The agreement involves issues on energy, water, food and biodiversity.

Lyonchhoen Jigmi Y. Thinleysaid, Bhutan’s Prime Minister said, “The success of our initiative will not only have direct and immediate benefits for our own people, but we could be setting a worthy precedent for other countries that share similar conditions.”
