Foreign Minister Khanal calls for increased climate finance for vulnerable countries

ANTALYA: The Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal, speaking on behalf of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) at the High-Level Dialogue on Adaptation during COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, has called for increased international climate finance and stronger support for countries most vulnerable to climate change.

Khanal said adaptation was not merely a technical or environmental response for LDCs but also an issue of climate justice, as these countries contribute the least to global climate change but bear the greatest burden of its worsening impacts.
