• Encourage government to take advantage of opportunities for carbon finance and other funding mechanisms related to climate change to mobilize resources for initiating clean development and adaptation programmes in Nepal
• Promote mitigation measures such as renewable energy and energy efficiency to minimize Nepal’s carbon footprint and enhance Nepal’s image as a country committed to clean energy
• Promote climate resilience and low carbon economic development
• Assist government to clarify Nepal’s position and strengthen its ability to raise its voice and effectively negotiate at COP/MOPs and other international meetings so as to ensure that international decisions are favorable to countries like Nepal
