Who is responsible for Nepal’s tragedy?
The devastating floods in Nepal demonstrate what happens when reckless development puts climate-vulnerable communities in harm’s way. They also highlight a climate-finance system that is unable to provide the funds countries need in the immediate aftermath of such disasters.
Nepal’s deadly mountain disaster exposes gaps in cross-border early-warning systems as climate change makes cascading Himalayan hazards more complex and unpredictable.
Devastating flash floods in Nepal highlight the growing risks from melting glaciers and climate change, underscoring the urgent need to strengthen early-warning systems and greater accountability for climate-related disasters.
