The ocean may feel far from Nepal, but its impact reaches all of us. From the air we breathe to the changing climate we experience, our lives are more connected to the ocean than we often realize. 🌊

This World Oceans Day, we are reminded that protecting nature is not about saving something distant, it is about protecting our own future. Every river, every mountain, every rainfall is part of the same planet we all share.

At CliMates Nepal, we believe climate action starts with care, awareness, and small everyday choices that create lasting impact. The ocean needs all of us, no matter where we are.

Happy World Oceans Day 💙

As the second-day event of our World Environment Day 2026 celebration, CliMates Nepal successfully completed the TareVir Eco Hike & Clean-up Campaign on 6th June 2026. The event brought together passionate individuals committed to protecting and preserving our environment through collective action.

Beginning from the entrance of Shivapuri National Park at Budhanilkantha and hiking all the way to TareVir Top, participants collected a substantial amount of litter scattered along the trail. Throughout the journey, we also engaged with visitors and hikers, raising awareness about responsible waste disposal, environmental stewardship, and the importance of maintaining peace by minimizing noise pollution within protected natural areas.

After the clean-up, all collected waste was properly handed over at the park entry point for appropriate management. While this may seem like a small effort, we firmly believe that consistent and collective actions can create meaningful and lasting positive impacts on both people and the environment.

At CliMates Nepal, we remain dedicated to conserving the environment through small, innovative, and consistent actions that inspire communities to become part of the solution.

We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated and contributed their time, energy, and enthusiasm to make this Eco Hike & Clean-up Campaign a remarkable success. Your commitment to environmental protection truly reflects the power of collective action.

With the successful completion of both -Climate Conversation on 5th June and the TareVir Eco Hike & Clean-up Campaign on 6th June, CliMates Nepal has proudly celebrated World Environment Day 2026 through two impactful events focused on awareness, engagement, and action.

Together, we learned, connected, and acted for a healthier planet.

We hope these initiatives inspire many more individuals to take responsibility for the environment and look forward to seeing the same enthusiasm and participation in our future programs.

CliMates Nepal successfully marked the first day of World Environment Day 2026 with an engaging Climate Conversation, where members shared insightful presentations on Mountain Tourism and Climate Change, Climate Change and Water Resources, Buildings and Climate Change, and Climate Change as a Threat to Biodiversity.

The session highlighted how climate change is affecting every part of our ecosystem, from Nepal’s iconic mountain regions such as Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, and Mustang to wildlife and local communities. Discussions focused on glacier melting, changing weather patterns, water resource challenges, biodiversity loss, wildlife displacement, and increasing tourism pressures in the Himalayas.

Participants also explored the difference between climate and weather and discussed how sustainable building designs can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, and enhance climate resilience. The importance of protecting Himalayan water resources from pollution and conserving endemic species was also emphasized.

The conversation concluded with practical actions that individuals can take, including reducing plastic use, following Leave No Trace principles, supporting sustainable practices, and raising awareness within their communities. The need for stronger commitments and effective policies from both government and private sectors was also highlighted.

A sincere thank you to all presenters and participants for making the first day of our World Environment Day celebration insightful and impactful. 🌿

We look forward to continuing the celebration tomorrow with an eco-hike at Tarevir. Interested participants are requested to gather at Budanilkantha Temple between 6:00–7:00 AM and bring their own food and water.

Together, small actions can create lasting change.

"Inspired by Nature, For Our Climate, For Our Future 🌍"

Designing is not only about creating visually appealing content; it is also about effectively communicating ideas through the right tools and techniques. Continuing our journey of learning and creativity, CliMates Nepal successfully conducted the second session of Two Day Creative Design Workshop to further strengthen the design skills of our General Members.

The session was facilitated by our wonderful resource person, Ms. Swati Bhattarai, who guided participants through the fundamentals and advanced features of Canva and Figma. From understanding the basic interface to exploring various tools, techniques, and practical applications, the session provided comprehensive insights into how these platforms can be utilized for different purposes. Participants gained hands-on knowledge of creating impactful visual content and learned valuable tips to enhance their design workflow.

The interactive nature of the session encouraged active participation, allowing members to explore the capabilities of Canva and Figma while developing practical skills that can be applied in both academic and professional settings.

A heartfelt thank you to all the General Members and Board Members for their enthusiastic participation and commitment to learning throughout the workshop. Special thanks to Ms. Swati Bhattarai for generously sharing her expertise and delivering such an engaging and informative session despite her busy schedule.

We are delighted to see our members growing their creative skills and look forward to more exciting learning opportunities ahead!

Stories from the hearts of Nepal’s youth.
Today, members of CliMates Nepal attended the Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival (KIMFF) 2026 at Chhaya Centre, where we were invited for the premiere of "Aasha: Dreams in Motion" ; a travelling cinema and dialogue initiative by UNICEF Nepal and the European Union.

The documentary followed the journeys of three young individuals from different regions of Nepal, each carrying unique dreams, challenges, and aspirations. One story followed a young girl from western Nepal aspiring to become an ethical hacker. Another highlighted a young boy from the Karnali region who dreams of becoming an environmentalist while speaking about the climate challenges his community faces. The third followed a 20-year-old girl from Janakpur pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Mithila arts, beautifully showcasing the rich culture of Mithila and how art can become both a source of livelihood and a way of expressing one’s true feelings and source of earnings as well.

Three different stories, three different regions, yet all connected by one powerful word ‘Aasha ‘meaning hope. Hope for a better future. Hope to create change. Hope to rise beyond barriers.

More than a film, it was a reminder to truly listen to young voices and understand realities beyond our own experiences. It showed how opportunities that may seem ordinary to some can be privileges to others, and how determination and ambition continue to thrive despite countless hurdles.

The film screening was followed by a panel discussion highlighting the importance of the private sector in strengthening education systems, bridging gaps in entrepreneurial and practical skills, and the need to decentralize opportunities so that youth across all regions can access learning, growth, and career pathways more equitably.

We left the event full of hope and "Aasha"— knowing that Nepal has a younger generation willing to learn, dream, and inspire others through their ambitions, resilience, and passion for change. 🌏💙

CliMates Nepal wishes everyone a Happy International Otter Day 2026, led by the International Otter Survival Fund (IOSF), marks its 10th Anniversary and is celebrated globally under the theme Healthy Waters, Healthy Otters, highlighting the vital link between clean freshwater ecosystems and otter survival.

Nepal is home to three otter species, reflecting its rich but fragile wetland biodiversity: the Eurasian Otter (IUCN: Near Threatened), the Smooth-coated Otter (IUCN: Vulnerable), and the Asian Small-clawed Otter (IUCN: Vulnerable).

These species remind us that Nepal’s rivers and wetlands are not just water sources, but living ecosystems that support diverse wildlife. Protecting them means ensuring a future where people and otters can thrive together. 🦦🌿
