UK is steadfast in commitment to supporting the Mountain Agenda under Nepal’s leadership. Baroness Hayman represented UK at Nepal's "Sagarmatha Sambad" (Everest Dialogue) reinforcing 🇬🇧 commitment to address climate crisis that in this region alone could impact 1.9bn downstream

Reforestation can help capture carbon, restore biodiversity, & create green breathing space. In Kathmandu today Baroness Hayman saw how @JaneGoodallInst is supporting a thriving 'pocket forest' as a powerful example of urban #regreening
