Nepal to replace fossil fuel with renewable energy by 2045

Nepal is set to formulate a plan of action to replace the fossil fuel with clean and renewable energy so as to attain the net zero carbon emission target by 2045. The government made the provision at its annual policy and program presented by Nepal President on Tuesday at the Federal Parliament for the upcoming fiscal year.

The national policy and action plan for mitigation and adaptation of climate change and disaster risk reduction is to be implemented. The government’s policies and programs include intensive advocacy in international fora for access and unconditional access to climate finance and diplomatic initiatives to receive financial assistance from the international funds under loss and damage due to climate change.
