Nepal pays for a climate crisis it didn't create
Original: Nepal pays for a climate crisis it didn’t create
Commentary highlights Nepal as a country suffering severe consequences of climate change, including melting Himalayan glaciers, floods and landslides, despite contributing very little to global greenhouse gas emissions. The argument is that poor, low-emission nations like Nepal bear the costs of a crisis caused mainly by wealthy industrialised countries, raising questions about climate justice and who should pay for loss and damage.
Why now: Ongoing global debate over climate justice and making wealthy polluting nations compensate vulnerable low-emission countries.
