यूएन में बालेंद्र शाह का पहला भाषण: आपदा प्रबंधन पर दिया जोर, भारत-चीन का नाम लेकर कह दी ये बड़ी बात

According to reports from Amar Ujala, Kathmandu Mayor Balendra Shah delivered his first address at the United Nations, focusing heavily on the urgent need for disaster management and climate resilience in the Himalayan region. During his speech, Shah emphasized the vulnerability of mountainous ecosystems to climate change and called for enhanced cooperation between neighboring nations, specifically mentioning India and China in the context of regional environmental stability.

Shah’s address highlighted the 'Himalayan Climate Resilience Mechanism,' a proposed framework aimed at mitigating the risks posed by melting glaciers and unpredictable weather patterns. By invoking the roles of India and China, the Mayor underscored that effective climate action in the Himalayas requires a collaborative approach that transcends national borders, given the shared ecological interests of the region.

The speech marks a significant moment for the Kathmandu leadership on the international stage, signaling a shift toward active participation in global climate policy discussions. As the Himalayan region continues to face increasing threats from climate-induced disasters, Shah’s call for a unified strategy is expected to draw attention to the specific challenges faced by landlocked, mountainous nations in international forums.
