Kathmandu: Climate activists, indigenous leaders and community representatives of 98 countries, including Nepal, have exhibited an art piece with a message ‘Brazil Lead The Just Energy Transition at COP 30.’

The letter was officially handed over to the COP 30 Chairperson. Requesting an immediate response, the letter was handed over to the Chairperson on the occasion of the ‘Free Land Camp’ held in Brazil.

Likewise, more than 70 countries and more than 200 climate activists have participated in the program. The participants aim to empower community-based renewable energy projects, which is a key step towards COP 30.
