Green Environment
Some initiatives on green economy
have taken place in Nepal, albeit mainly in the forms of dialogues and
seminars on the subject. The National Planning Commission, with support
of the Poverty Environment Initiative Programme, has organized a few
discussion programmes on the subject in recent years. Different non-governmental
organizations and the private sector have also organized dialogues on
the subject. Among others, these dialogues and seminars have helped
spur the debate on what a green economy means for Nepal, which are the
sectors that could potentially contribute to a green economy and hence
need to be promoted, and what roles different stakeholders should play
in Nepal’s pursuit of a green economy..
