Following devastating flash floods that have claimed at least 683 lives and left over 3,000 missing, Nepal is urgently appealing for increased global cooperation in combating climate change. The country’s Foreign Minister highlighted Nepal’s status as a major victim of global warming despite contributing less than 0.01 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Wednesday’s deluge caused widespread destruction and underscores the vulnerability of the region to extreme weather events. The appeal emphasizes the disproportionate impact of climate change on nations with minimal environmental footprints. Nepal is seeking a concerted international effort to address the root causes and mitigate the effects of a warming planet. The disaster serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for global climate action and support for vulnerable countries.
