The agreement framework aims to mitigate climate change, mobilise carbon financing and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement reached under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement is expected to create new opportunities for cooperation between the two countries in areas such as carbon markets, climate-friendly investment, technology transfer, climate adaptation and sustainable development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement will enable Nepal and South Korea to develop projects relating to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and facilitate the transfer of internationally recognised emission reduction outcomes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is expected to help mobilise international carbon finance and promote investment from both the public and private sectors in the areas of climate adaptation and mitigation. It has included energy, transport, industry, buildings, waste management, agriculture and forest sectors as areas of priority for cooperation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The development and implementation of climate-friendly projects, investment expansion and the infusion of advanced technology will be encouraged in these areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, the pace incorporates provisions for transparent accounting, monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of carbon emissions, as well as adjustment processes to prevent the double counting of emission reductions. This will help maintain environmental integrity in carbon trading and support the fulfilment of international climate commitments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, this agreement is expected to play a key role in the implementation of Nepal\u2019s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0), the enhancement of climate resilience and the achievement of the goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A joint committee will be formed on climate change cooperation, with government representatives from both countries to monitor the implementation of the agreement, approval of the joint action plan and cooperation activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nepal government expressed confidence that such international partnership would contribute to mobilisation of climate finance, development of technology and capacity building at home at a time when Nepal is facing severe challenges of increasing risks of floods and landslides and threats to mountainous regions due to climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement was signed by Dr Maheshwor Dhakal, joint secretary and focal point for the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change on behalf of the Government of Nepal, and Jongho Kyun, ambassador for Climate Change and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, on behalf of the Government of South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
