Homes in Trishuli were destroyed by the flood

From Onlinekhabar English

Homes in Trishuli were destroyed by the flood. Nepal did not create the global climate crisis. Yet Nepalis are increasingly paying an extraordinary price for its consequences—in lives lost, homes destroyed, livelihoods shattered and communities placed at growing risk. The recent catastrophic flash flood in Rasuwa is a stark reminder that climate change is no longer a distant threat for Nepal. It is a present-day crisis. And Nepal now has an opportunity to make the world listen. As world leaders gather in New York for the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly, Prime Minister Balendra Shah, popularly known as Balen, is expected to address the Assembly on September 24. The catastrophe gives Nepal an urgent reason to place climate justice, Himalayan vulnerability and global responsibility at the centre of that international conversation. For Nepal, this is no longer an abstract debate about future climate scenarios. It is about people losing their lives today. A disaster that began in the Himalayas The catastrophe began on the morning of August 26 in the Himalayan border region.
