The Aporia · Climate change a common challenge, says government on Nepal Minister’s compensation demand

India's External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal responded to Nepal Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal's demand for climate change-related compensation from the US, China, and India, saying that these developed countries must lead the effort to address climate change due to their historical emissions. Jaiswal noted that India has consistently maintained that climate change is a common challenge requiring collective action, with developed countries taking responsibility and providing financial and technological support to developing nations like Nepal. Khanal had stated that the major industrial emitters have a "historical responsibility" to compensate vulnerable countries, but later clarified that he did not request compensation from these countries. India has provided significant relief assistance to Nepal following last month's flash flood.
