"[C]limate change is just a very, very expensive form of tax."

"I believe in climate change caused by human beings. What I'm skeptical about is the glib notion that it means the end of the world as we know it."

"The clock is no longer just ticking, it is banging."

"There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change."

"The time for seeking global solutions [to climate change] is running out."

"The climate crisis is the existential threat. That's not hyperbole; it's a fact."

"[W]e are killing our planet."

Climate change is "above all, an existential crisis."

"Climate change is one of the greatest challenges mankind faces."

"If we don't take action, the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon."

"Humanity is on thin ice — and that ice is melting fast."

"We haven't yet exceeded the bounds of viable human civilisation, but we're getting close."

Is Climate Change an Existential Threat?

Nepal Prime Minister Balendra Shah will travel to New York later this month for the 81st UN General Assembly, his first foreign trip since taking office March 27. The high-level General Debate begins Sept. 22.

Nepal requested $20 million from the U.N. Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage, created in 2022 under the Paris agreement. Khanal said the sum was "obviously not nearly enough" against damage estimated at more than $5 billion.

The Finance Ministry sent its letter to the fund's board Sept. 1, six days after the Aug. 26 flood, asking for an out-of-cycle decision. The letter was signed by Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle and Minister Gita Chaudhary.

About 119 countries have filed requests to the fund totaling $2.8 billion, while roughly $400 million has been provided. No country has yet received a payout, with the board postponing its first approvals to a December meeting.

Nepal contributes less than 0.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Khanal said waves reached speeds near 180 kph, and rescue teams from India, China and South Korea have worked at buried hydropower tunnel sites.
