The South Asian country's decades-long conservation efforts, bolstered by Restore Bhutan’s goal of bringing 50,000 hectares of degraded landscapes back to health by 2030, have earned the kingdom a place among the 2026 Earthshot Prize finalists.

From toxic haze and extreme heat to flooding and shifting disease patterns, climate-related risks are placing growing pressure on public health systems across Asia. Experts say stronger prevention, better data and deeper cross-border cooperation will be critical to building resilience.
The 26 August flash floods on the Nepal-China border wiped out or badly damaged 281 megawatts of installed capacity and damaged 388 MW under construction in Nepal, with losses estimated to be hundreds of billions of Nepali rupees. With transmission lines on the Trishuli riverbank washed away, another 150 MW of power is cut off from the national grid.
Climate scientists say decades of glacier retreat, snow loss and permafrost thaw heightened Himalayan risks long before the catastrophe that struck Rasuwa District and communities downstream.
