SPCC, Cimex BYD join hands under Everest 1° Initiative to protect Himalayan ecosystem

For decades, increasing mountaineering activities and the impacts of climate change have placed mounting pressure on the Everest ecosystem.

On the occasion of World Environment Day 2026, the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC) and the Cimex BYD Charity Foundation (CBCF) have partnered under the Everest 1° Initiative, a long-term environmental programme aimed at protecting the fragile Himalayan ecosystem through sustainable waste management, climate resilience, clean energy and environmental stewardship.
