आज जलवायु वित्त सम्बन्धी @ReganSapkota र मेरो लेख @ekantipur_com प्रकाशित भएको छ जसमा बढ्दो वित्तीय अन्तर, चुनौती र अगाडिको बाटोबारे चर्चा गरेका छौं।
आशा छ आगामी बजेटले जलवायु वित्तलाई गम्भीर रूपमा सम्बोधन गर्नेछ।

My opinion article in @Diplomat_APAC
"The Coming Food Crisis in South Asia"
Oil disruptions are cascading into fertilizer markets, weakening agriculture and putting South Asia’s food security at risk. We’ve seen this pattern before. @IWMI_

Thread worth going through...
I personally would consider this Plan B, which happened after Plan A of 2005/06 (remember "Bhojan Griha" where NED et al maintained a stable of some 40 Nepali MPs?) failed with internal corruption!

We examined 50 years of discharge data from ten High Mountain Asia rivers. Westerlies-fed systems show increasing runoff, while monsoon-fed rivers display decresing trends. @IWMI_

A new method for quantifying grandeur is reshuffling the pecking order of the planet’s most impressive peaks. Turns out Everest has steep competition.

Happy International Mountain Day! 🏔️

“Mountains at the tipping point” — sharing my op-ed published today in @NepaliTimes, reflecting on key #COP30 outcomes for mountains and thoughts on the way forward.

[Dr Santosh Nepal @SantoshNepal_]

Happy to share our #NewPaper on Climate Resilience Mapping of the rural water supply systems in #Dailekh #Nepal. Majority of systems need strong adaptation. Weakest areas: Institutions and Governance

💧 Climate change is straining #WASH systems in rural Nepal. To understand how resilient these systems are, IWMI researchers assessed 180 water supply systems in Dailekh, using an indicator-based approach to guide local adaptation.

#NewPaper
Climate change will intensify seasonal flow variability in the @Karnali_Basin, #Nepal with wetter monsoon & drier other seasons. Integrated mgmt of the water, food, and energy nexus is crucial to address climate change impacts @IWMI_ #NEXUSGains

On World Water Day, I shared my views on the @WashKhabar, highlighting how vulnerable water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) systems are to climate change, and emphasizing the need to build climate-resilient systems. @IWMI_ #RESWASH @_waterforwomen

‘Climate Crisis in Nepal’. Our OpEd in Kantipur today.

Correction: Kanchanpur rainfall should have been 624 mm in 24 hours. @surendraphuyal @IWMI_

[Dr Santosh Nepal @SantoshNepal_]

Nonstop rainfall for 3 days has wreaked havoc in Nepal. Kathmandu saw record rainfall (240mm). Over 100 people have died, and many are still missing. Extreme weather is becoming more frequent and worsened by climate change. Photo:Nepalitimes

“नदीमा जलसतह बढी भएको वा बाढीको बेला नदी दायाँबायाँ जानसक्छ भन्ने आधारमा फल्ड प्लेन एरियामा भौतिक संरचना नबनाउने अभ्यास हुन्छ। तर हामी कहाँ यो अभ्यासलाई लत्याएर नदी क्षेत्रनै अतिक्रमण गरी संरचना निर्माण गर्दा क्षति भएको देखिन्छ” #KathmanduFloods @IWMI_

Brainstorming continues on ‘Water Resources Bill’ today. How can we ensure that water resources management is people-centered, inclusive, and conservation-oriented, considering the impact of socioeconomic, climate, n environmental changes? @dipak_gyawali @khadka_manohara @IWMI_
