KATHMANDU, DEC 01 -
Six organisations working on the issue of climate change submitted a memorandum to President Ram Baran Yadav on Wednesday urging him for action on mitigating the effects of climate change and on disaster management.
"Nepal has made numerous efforts to tackle the climate challenge. But this is not enough," responded Yadav, adding that efforts were on to write an environment-friendly constitution.
According to Tilottam Paudel, president of Jagriti Child and Youth Concern Nepal, the memorandum stresses the need to promote plantation of Sajeevan (Jatropha carcus), a plant that absorbs carbon from the atmosphere, apart from pleading to promote organic farming and to construct bicycle tracks in cities.
