There is one historically isolated nation which overwhelming the atmosphere of every other nation, by not only being carbon neutral but carbon negative. The nation is also called the Thunder dragons and last living place of Shang-gri-la. Bhutan is the name of the nation situated in the Eastern Himalaya. In the 1970s the king of Bhutan famously proposed the Gross National Happiness index as a key matrix for the country’s success. The constitution mentioned nation's forest cover should never be below 60%. Bhutan’s current exceed this to 72%. The annual carbon emission of Bhutan is 2.2 million tonnes, but due to their exceptional forest cover, the country absorbs around 6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year which is three times more than it emits. This leads to a holistic approach to social development, cultural preservation, and environmental sustainability. The government provides significant subsidy LED lights to its people with a key partnership with NISSAN electric vehicle. Bhutan has also implemented banned on plastic bags, fast food, and smoking, tobaccos, hunting, and mass tourism. Bhutan is a part of the Tibetan plateau and massive glaciers reaching covering mainly China, but also Bhutan, India and several other countries. It is referred to as the third pole. If freeze its ten major rivers across Asia, will affect 50 billion people. Bhutan is a shining example to other nations to follow. Of course, Bhutan is a low-impact country. There is no reason other countries cannot adopt a more humanitarian and eco-friendly policy. We should see Bhutan as an inspiration for the fight against climate change, as carbon neutrality is a key factor for the decision-making of the government.
