After deadly floods killed over 1,000 and left nearly 4,000 missing, Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal made it clear: small nations shouldn’t pay the price for someone else’s emissions. This isn’t just about disaster relief; it’s about accountability. With recovery costs soaring beyond Nepal’s means, and the UN’s Loss and Damage Fund still moving slowly, Nepal is taking a stand ahead of the global climate summit. The message? If you caused the crisis, you should help fix it; especially when it’s hitting the most vulnerable hardest. This could reshape how climate justice is seen; and funded; worldwide.
