As the sun rises in the east,

A fresh day leads me and fades away the mist.

White mountains, green hills, lovely flowers,

Awakens me with spry spring showers.

Nature dances and sings the nightingales,

In the Rhododendron forest, my heart tangles.

 

Nepal is a beautiful country blessed with a natural serenity. The thoughts of knowing the country I live have always been my dream, where my thoughts would finally be conquered by the hills, mountains, springs, flowers and wildlife. And yes, "Roof of the world", Mount Everest (8848m) represents the deem acme of the country.  Every one of us desires to be on "The top of the world" and tourists from every nook and corner travel to Nepal to be here.

Nature is a basis to recreation, meditation, mindfulness and power while it sometimes is a deviant monster. The Everest Avalanche on April 18, 2014 is the scariest day on the mountain history that killed 13 and left three Sherpas missing. Sherpas are the tribe In Himalayan region of Nepal, known as "Tigers of Himalayas". Previously, the Khumbu Icefall in 2005 was catastrophic too.

 

We know the fact that Nepal's Green House Gas contribution to the global share is very low (0.025%). We don't have significant role in terms of GHG reduction from global scale. In contrast it's a curse to mountainous country that it is compelled to accept the trauma of Avalanches, Glacial Lake Outburst Flood, Snowfall and so forth. Consequently, after the ratification of KYOTO Protocol, the green house gas emission among industrialized country sells the excess carbon credit to the developing nationalities. However, adaptation is what we can presently do to cope with this disaster.

 

The grim reality has surface at a time while the world unitedly continues to fight back the efforts of climate change. In fact, climate change is inextricably interwoven with the problem of global economic development and cannot be removed from the discussion of the population, resources, environment and economic justice. It can be solved neither by a lone country nor individual efforts from the nation.  For this, cooperation and transfer of knowledge, technology and capitals between the nations are a must. Developed countries should heftily cut down the CO₂ and other green house gases (GHSs) emissions. Similarly, developing countries should promote Indigenous Traditional Knowledge (ITK) to strike a balance between life-supporting systems. In this course, developing counties are to be aided with feasible eco-friendly technology.

 

It might take a very long run. Meanwhile political agendas, social issued, academics hold the major media attention herein. Nothing is in order in our country due to political chaos.  Every one of us are so messed up in the political environment that none of us prioritize "Issues on climate change" as important. Wait, look and see?? This is ongoing trend on every issue.

 

But, in oppose to it, I saw a larger unified step ahead! It's "Peoples climate March 2014"!. Nepal marched along streets of Kathmandu with leadership of Nepalese youth activist, for addressing climate change issue demanding climate justice now! So, with the hope of "Climate Justice to Nepal", its majestic peaks, rivers, landscapes and beautiful birds and animals, I participated on climate march. Yes, it was a historical march, a landmark to environmental concern in Nepal.

 

And the success of climate march 2014 is: the ray of hope, the ray of joy and the ray of celebration that unified people all over the world to create sustainable mother earth that we always wished for.
