Sharma Oli said Nepal was already experiencing the effects of climate change despite its nominal role in the global crisis, the Kathmandu Post reported."The country is extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change although our contribution to greenhouse gas emissions is negligible," Oli said. "Rising temperature, retreating glaciers and erratic rainfall extreme weather events are causing damages to our people and economy."At the meet, Oli also emphasised how climate change has unequal impacts."Some countries are well prepared to deal with them, but countries like Nepal are most vulnerable," he added.( With inputs from IANS )
