KATHMANDU – Vice President Ramsahay Prasad Yadav has emphasized the need to adopt environment-friendly technologies while reducing environmental pollution to achieve sustainable development goals.
In his message of best wishes on the occasion of World Environment Day today, Vice President Yadav said that the amount of snow in the Himalaya region has reduced due to climate change and the destruction of forest areas has posed a threat to biodiversity.
He stated that although Nepal is a country full of natural beauty, various impacts of climate change have created significant problems, and collaboration from everyone is necessary against this.
The Vice President also emphasized the need to focus on promoting renewable energy sources, ensuring the protection of wildlife and biodiversity, adopting environmentally friendly technologies in agricultural and industrial production, and encouraging initiatives for environmental conservation at both individual and community levels.
Stating that environmental protection is not only the responsibility of the government but a shared duty of all, he mentioned that everyone can contribute significantly to improving the environment by making small changes in their daily lives.
“In particular, the afforestation campaign should be prioritized, and there should be efforts to save water and energy, as well as to adopt cleanliness and environmentally friendly technologies,” said Vice President Yadav.
