The climate change conference in Copenhagen has been going on in full swing but there has been no sign of much progress among the negotiators of the developed and developing nations. There is a lot of skepticism whether the much anticipated climate deal will be signed at all. This is especially causing a lot of concern among the most vulnerable countries including Nepal. In this edition, we take you to the Everest region to discuss how the decisions of the world leaders will have a direct impact on one of the world's most vulnerable regions.
