00:00Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah is calling for urgent regional cooperation on climate
00:06resilience after a deadly glacial flood hit the Himalayan nation last month.
00:11Addressing the UN General Assembly, Shah said the impact of climate change crosses borders
00:16and called for more grant-based international support.
00:21The resulting devastation unleashed havoc on both sides of the Nepal-China border.
00:26The flood continued downstream to India.
00:29This tells us something fundamental.
00:33Climate change does not recognize borders.
00:35Glaciers and floods do not travel with stamps and passports.
00:39Those who have historically contributed more to the problem
00:42and those with greater capacity to respond must do more.
00:47Climate justice cannot remain a beautiful phrase in the United Nations document.
00:52He also called for Nepal, India and China to share satellite data, monitor glacial lakes and strengthen early warning systems.
01:01The proposal also includes coordinated disaster response across borders as climate-related risks grow in the Himalayas.
01:09The disaster began in late August when a glacier collapse near the border of Nepal and China triggered landslides and
01:16flash floods.
01:16Weeks later, surge and recovery operations are still underway with more than 6,000 people missing.
01:23The World Bank has made available up to US$170 million in emergency financing in order to help Nepal respond
01:31to the disaster and begin recovery efforts.
