KATHMANDU: At a time when the gains for the nation from the 15th global negotiation on climate change (CoP-15) have been highly debated, Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal is set to address the Parliament about the same within a week, one-and-a-half months after his participation in the Copenhagen conference. 'This is the first time in history that such a high official is addressing the environmental issue in Parliament,' said a source at the Ministry of Environment. The 38-member team attended the Copenhagen meeting on climate change held between December 7 and 18, where PM Nepal addressed the main plenary on 16 December. The government is yet to make its official view public about the meeting. 'The PM's busy schedule is the main reason behind the delay,' said Purushottam Ghimire, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Environment. 'As the chairman of the Climate Change Council formed five months ago, the PM should make his statement first. The ministry will talk about the issue later,' Ghimire added. The ministry is preparing the document to be presented in the parliament. Most of the experts, civil society members and climate activists have already expressed their view about the meeting saying it was a failure. 'We are looking forward to the government view on climate change after CoP 15,' said Abhisekh Shrestha, youth campaigner on climate change. 'Nepal is on the list of Least Developed Countries in the negotiation and the group has clearly said it was a failure,' said Adarsha Pokharel, expert, Climate Change. The ministry source said the government would defend it diplomatically although the major demands of the most vulnerable countries were sidelined in the summit. Experts have reacted furiously to the statement of Intergovernmental Panel.
