Creation Nepal will host a panel discussion titled “Zero Waste” on behalf of Nepal during the COP31 conference in Turkey, scheduled to take place from November 9 to 20. The session is planned as a side event at the conference, General Secretary Roshana Suvedi said.

Nepal’s planned contribution to COP31

The announcement places Creation Nepal among the organizations preparing a discussion for the conference programme. The session will focus on zero waste and is intended to represent Nepal through a panel discussion hosted by the organization. Suvedi’s statement identifies Creation Nepal as the host and confirms that the event is being planned as a side event, rather than as a main conference session.

The planned discussion gives Nepal a platform at COP31 to raise the zero-waste topic in a conference setting. The announcement does not identify other panel participants or provide details about the session’s format beyond describing it as a panel discussion. It also does not specify the event’s exact date, time or venue within the conference.

Session details and conference timing

COP31 is scheduled to run in Turkey from November 9 through November 20. Creation Nepal’s side event is expected to take place during that conference period. The organization’s role, as described by its general secretary, is to host the session on behalf of Nepal.

The announcement confirms the session title and its broad format, but does not provide further information about the topics that panelists will address, the intended audience or any outcomes the discussion is expected to produce. Those details were not included in the information provided about the planned event.

For now, the key elements are the participation of Creation Nepal, the focus on zero waste, and the session’s status as a side event at COP31. Suvedi’s statement makes clear that the organization plans to bring the discussion to the conference as a Nepal-led contribution. The conference dates provide the overall window in which the panel is scheduled to be held.
