A review of major national development documents and policy. . 23rd November 2023, Kathmandu: The document 'Policy Roadmap for Nepal to Transition to 100% RE by 2050' was launched at the National Conference on 100% Renewable Energy: Accelerating RE. Advancing Just Transition at Hotel Yak and Yeti in Kathmandu, Nepal. Nepal's energy system is currently dominated by hydropower, but heavy reliance on biomass for cooking and imported petroleum for transport and industry raises challenges for energy. . The Nepal Renewable Energy Programme (NREP) hosted a Learning Sharing Programme in Kathmandu, marking a significant milestone as the programme nears its completion on March 31, 2025. This implies that the global energy transition to low-carbon energy resources is necessary to accelerate mitigation actions and to achieve the global temperature g als set by the Paris Agreement. Due to overlapping, inter-related challenges such as a jobless recovery from the pandemic, inequality, climate change, environmental health, and global economic issues, the country needs to focus n sustainable, simultaneous, and systematic. .
