Nepal's 16th Five-Year Development Plan (2024/25-2028/29) was approved on August 2, 2023, and is set to be implemented starting July 16, 2024. While the plan's concept note initially lacked focus on climate change and emission mitigation, subsequent revisions aim to incorporate strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including transitioning to zero-emission transportation, shifting to renewable energy sources, and improving energy efficiency across various sectors.
