A truly heartbreaking day for Kathmandu and the country. Young people took to the streets to raise their voices, voices that deserved respect and attention. Instead, innocent and precious lives were lost. A sad day for us all. May we find strength to heal and recover together 🖤🙏

Despite limited resources, many LDCs have submitted ambitious NDCs, informed by 1.5°C pathways—most w/ partial costing &dependent on international support. Implementation is a top priority. We urge others to raise ambition & submit NDCs in time, so #COP30 can focus on solutions, not on filling gaps.
