Huge congratulations H.E. @LokThapa2071 for your exceptional leadership in diverse dimensions. – at Nepal
Ambassador Lok Bahadur Thapa met today with H.E. António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations. He commended the Secretary General’s principled leadership, steadfast commitment to multilateralism, spirit of solidarity, and unwavering resolve to ensure that no one is left behind. Amb Thapa expressed the Government of Nepal’s profound appreciation for the invaluable assistance extended by the United Nations system in the aftermath of Nepal’s recent disasters. He reaffirmed Nepal’s enduring commitment to multilateralism, the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and collective international efforts to address shared global challenges. The Secretary-General extended his heartfelt condolences over the recent disasters in Nepal and commended the country’s active and constructive role in advancing multilateral cooperation. He recognized Nepal’s significant contributions to the multilateral system through its leadership in key processes, including the Presidency of ECOSOC, the Chairmanship of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), facilitation of the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4), and the Chairmanship of the First Committee. He also acknowledged Nepal’s sustained advocacy for climate action and its longstanding contributions to global peace and security as one of the leading Troop- and Police-Contributing Countries (TPCCs). Recalling his landmark visit to the base camp of Mount Everest exactly three years ago, where he drew global attention to the devastating impacts of climate change in the Himalayas, the Secretary-General underscored the urgent need for concerted and ambitious global climate action. Both Ambassador Thapa and the Secretary-General emphasized the importance of strengthening early warning systems, bolstering resilience to climate-induced disasters, and building greater international solidarity, consensus, and ambition to advance the global climate agenda. #Nepal and UnitedNations #Multilateralism #ClimateResilience #EarlyWarningSystems #LeaveNoOneBehind #UNPeacekeeping #LDCs

It is interesting to listen to @elonmusk. Intelligent people focus on the future, while others remain occupied with the past. – at Nepal

Can utility arise from sacrifice, not just consumption? My new theory suggests people derive utility not only from what they consume, but also from voluntary sacrifices for others. Encouraging to see recent empirical applications emerging. #Behavior #Economic #Altruism – at Nepal

Mountain pastoralists don't just adapt to uncertainty. For centuries, they've managed it through mobility, knowledge, stewardship and collective action. Sustainable mountains depend on supporting the people who sustain them. #MountainsMatter #IYRP2026 @UNmountains – at Ormea, Piedmont

Interesting 🤔 – at Nepal
Neanderthals survived for hundreds of thousands of years in Eurasia, enduring ice ages and eking out a hardscrabble living hunting woolly mammoths and rhinoceroses and harvesting edible grasses, tubers, and legumes. Why they ultimately perished has long been a mystery. New research appears to strike out a leading hypothesis: that they succumbed to harmful mutations brought on by inbreeding within tiny, isolated populations. Analyzing 27 high-quality Neanderthal genomes from Western Europe, researchers find that at the tail end of their existence approximately 45,000 years ago, our close evolutionary cousins were genetically healthy and appear to have lived in large, well-connected groups.
