The agreement aims to foster collaboration and closer partnership in promoting science and technology to contribute to sustainable mountain development in Nepal and beyond. The initial activities under the collaboration focus on promoting research and capacity building through joint atmospheric science activities. Prof. Jibaraj Pokharel, Vice Chancellor of NAST and Dr David Molden, Director General of ICIMOD, signed the MoU at the ICIMOD headquarters. Dr Eklabya Sharma, Director of Programme Operations at ICIMOD, Shekhar Shah, Acting Secretary of NAST, and other ICIMOD staff of the atmosphere initiative were also present during the signing ceremony.
