In the run-up to the UN’s Climate Change Conference [this/last] month, all the talk was whether COP26 would deliver. In this podcast – the final in our look at climate change – Nicola Pollitt hears from leading climate experts Bimal Regmi (who advises the Government of Nepal) and Nanki Kaur (who formerly worked for regional climate experts ICIMOD) to get the expert view.

Well over half of Nepal’s population are female. On Gender Day at #COP26, we’re asking a leading Nepali Parliamentarian and climate expert: does climate change disproportionately affect Nepali women and girls? How? And how will taking targeted actions help us all?

With Nepali youth making up almost half of the population, what they make of and how they engage with #climatechange is crucial for ensuring a sustainable development model for Nepal.

We all hear a lot about climate change, but does the media really help us understand it so we can take action? And what’s the role of new media, like social networks?

Nepal's contribution to global warming is relatively small but the adverse impacts of climate change to the mountainous country can endanger the lives of tens of millions.

Her Excellency Nicola Pollitt, the British ambassador to Nepal, sits down with COP26 regional ambassador Ken O’Flaherty, and climate change expert Dr. Simon Lucas to discuss what climate change means, how it affects Nepal, and the UK’s leadership of this year’s COP26 climate conference in Glasgow.
