Mr. Madhu Marasaini, former Secretary, delivered a presentation on the “Resolution of Sagarmatha Sambad”, highlighting critical insights and actionable recommendations that emerged from the dialogue. His remarks underscored the importance of collective efforts from local communities, policymakers, and global actors to enhance sustainable mountain development and climate resilience. A panel discussion titled “Paving the Path Forward: National Climate Policy and Action Synergies with the Sagarmatha Call for Action” was moderated by Mr. Kushal Gurung, CEO of Windpower Nepal, and featured key experts: Mr. Naresh Sharma (Under Secretary, Climate Change Management Division, Ministry of Forests and Environment), Dr. Madhav Karki (Senior NRM and Climate Change Management Expert), Ms. Sunita Kayastha (Emergency Specialist, UNICEF), Ms. Manohara Khadka (Country Representative, IWMI Nepal), and Mr. Govinda Bahadur Shahi (V.C, Mountain Partnership and Executive Director of KIRDARC). The discussion centred on practical, cross-sectoral strategies to align national climate policy with the Sagarmatha Declaration. The event concluded with a strong call to institutionalise the commitments of the Sagarmatha Sambaad by formally submitting it to all three tiers of government—federal, provincial, and local. As highlighted by the panel lists, moving beyond tokenistic inclusion requires ensuring meaningful participation of children, youth, and the elderly through multi-stakeholder platforms and capacity-building efforts. The discussion also stressed the importance of coordination and partnership among policymakers, civil society, government institutions, and communities to bridge traditional, scientific, and indigenous knowledge systems—thereby fostering ownership, accountability, and effective climate action.
