Kathmandu’s growth could be severely compromised unless effective measures are taken to stem the tide of environmental degradation resulting from economic and human pressures, according to the Kathmandu Valley Environmental Outlook released 25 January 2007 during the 10th Governing Council Meeting and Silver Jubilee of the South Asia Cooperative Environment Programme (SACEP). The report gives a strong picture of environmental decline in the valley, citing growing urbanization, population growth, unhampered and poorly planned land development and insufficient coordination among government agencies as major causes of environmental deterioration.
