ANTALYA (TÜRKİYE): Minister for Agriculture, Forest and Environment Geeta Chaudhary attended the opening day of the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) wearing the traditional attire of the Sherpa community to draw international attention to the challenges facing Nepal’s Himalayan regions due to climate change.

According to her secretariat, Minister Chaudhary chose the traditional Sherpa attire to highlight the severe impacts of climate change on Himalayan communities and ecosystems and to draw the attention of the international community to the need for protecting mountain regions.

Her participation in the traditional attire is also expected to help showcase Nepal’s distinct Himalayan identity on the international stage and highlight recent disasters, including the Bhotekoshi disaster, as well as the growing climate-induced disasters affecting the country’s mountainous areas.

Minister Chaudhary arrived in Antalya on Wednesday to participate in the COP31 conference.
