Experts urge Nepal to adopt clean heating in mountain regions to fight environmental changes

KATHMANDU: (Aug 10) Researchers and environmental leaders on Monday emphasised the need for clean heating in Nepal’s mountainous regions to combat rapid environmental shifts and changing lifestyles driven by the booming tourism industry.
