Nepal eyes UN climate fund payout backed by attribution study
Nepal plans to file a roughly $20 million claim with the UN Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage, supported by a World Weather Attribution study that links climate change to the Langtang Lirung rock-ice collapse and resulting floods, as the country seeks reconstruction funds after about 1,400 deaths and thousands missing; the fund has limited money and requires evidence of climate-linked losses, making the process uncertain.
