"We need adaptation or we will die," Dinanath Bhandari of the Nepal Practical Action Network said.
The Nepalese people have begun to feel the impact of climate change caused by developed nations, he said.
Rachel Berger, climate change policy adviser working for the Practical Action, said rich countries are put under moral obligation to stop the injustice. "It is not only a matter of assistance but also of funding for poor countries to enable them to exist."
Any negotiation on adaptation funds should give priority to those in dire need, Rachel said.
