The government of Nepal and development partners agreed on a joint statement of support today for Nepal’s relief, recovery and resilience plan to enable a green, resilient and sustainable recovery from the COVID-19.

The green recovery approach recognises the need for investment to protect lives and secure jobs and livelihoods as an immediate priority, and the need to build resilience, further strengthen inclusion, equity, and enhance sustainability in the longer term.

“The Nepal government welcomes this joint development partner approach to support green recovery from the COVID -19 pandemic that is well aligned with Nepal’s 15th development plan,” Radha Wagle, joint secretary at the Ministry of Forests and Environment, has been quoted as saying in a media release. “It is also very timely as Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli will be announcing Nepal’s climate ambition at the Global COP 26 Ambition Summit.”
