Nepal to host fifth Sustainable Summits Conference

The Sustainable Summits Conference fifth edition is being held in Nepal from June 1 to 5 to showcase the country’s mountain environment, highlight climate change issues and bring international attention to Nepal’s mountain tourism. Organising a news conference at Nepal Tourism Board on February 27, the organisers said that Sustainable Summits Conference 2020 is aimed at honouring mountain voices and promoting increased understanding of the Himalaya as an “abode of the Gods”. It will provide a platform for issues from the Hindu Kush Himalaya region to be discussed, debated and consolidated in order to influence policy and to have a unified voice in other global arenas, said a member of the organising committee Lisa Choegyal.
