Sarah Sapsanamma Rai, much appreciation for covering the story. It is voiced by many that stakeholders allocating 'climate support funds' to vulnerable and high-risk countries reassess their processes so that every affected country gets a 'fair share' of the funds to effectively adapt and mitigate the impacts of climate change. As highlighted by Prakash Pantha in the video, inside country too, tangible actions and results are needed, as against mere policies and promises. #ClimateJustice #FairCompensation #EnvironmentalJustice #FairShare #SustainableFuture  #NepalClimateAction #NepalSustainableFuture
