Nepal is an ancient land with rich natural and cultural heritages. Historically, the Himalaya and its foothills have been home to many sages, thinkers and people who have attained Bodhisattva- enlightenment. Discourses, reflections, mediation, harmonious life with nature and enlightenment have remained defining features of that tradition. The majestic mountains, with Sagarmatha towering over us, inspire us to think beyond our border and reflect on issues in a holistic manner. As the ancient Sanskrit saying goes, ‘‘वादे वादे जायते तत्त्वबोधः” (Knowledge is generated through discourses), we believe that the most challenging issues facing the global humanity can be addressed through discourses and reflections. In today’s complex world, we need even more open and collaborative dialogues to help flourish new ideas, views, and perspectives on various issues of common interest. Like the symbol, sanctity, beauty and the esteem for Sagarmatha, the forum intends to prove itself as a vibrant dialogue platform that could contribute towards the global efforts in promoting collective wellbeing.
The Government of Nepal is hosting the first Sagarmatha Sambaad in Kathmandu from 16 to 18 May 2025 on ‘Climate Change, Mountains and the Future of Humanity.’
It is structured as a multi-stakeholder, cross-sectoral discussion forum. Every two years, the Sambaad draws in Kathmandu global leaders involving heads of state/government, parliamentarians, policy makers and local governments, as well as leaders from inter-governmental organizations, private sector, civil society, think tanks, academia, women, youths and media to discuss on the ways of cooperation, exchange of ideas and sharing of experiences on prominent global issues.
