In the aftermath of severe floods and landslides caused by the collapse of a Himalayan glacier, Nepal is requesting financial aid from affluent nations and global organizations. The disaster has resulted in the loss of at least 1,300 lives, with over 5,300 individuals still unaccounted for in both Nepal and the Tibet region of China. More than 12 hydropower facilities, along with essential infrastructure such as roads, bridges, homes, and communication systems, have been destroyed. The government estimates a need for $5 billion to initiate a five-month recovery process. Authorities are highlighting this disaster as an issue of climate justice in anticipation of Prime Minister Balendra Shah’s upcoming address at the UN on September 24.
