प्रसिद्ध The @Diplomat_APAC Magazine मा प्रकाशित मेरो लेख !
Honored to have my article published in The Diplomat!
Nepal may be a small country, but it's taking bold steps in global climate diplomacy.

[The Diplomat @Diplomat_APAC]

Nepal’s climate vulnerability shapes its climate goals and strategies, with the Sagarmatha Sambad as a rising symbol of Himalayan climate diplomacy. https://t.co/TN1odIHL3y

My op-ed published in The Diplomat Magazine:

I wrote: Climate change is real and not a hoax, and Nepal cannot face these growing risks alone. Stronger regional cooperation, shared technology, and global support are important and necessary parts of the response to this tragedy.

Wednesday’s disaster marked the second time in just over a year that Nepal’s Rasuwa district has been devastated by a catastrophic flood. https://t.co/5EoFQ3r8tJ

Collapsed glacier likely caused devastating Nepal-Tibet floods, scientists say https://t.co/UJlzoMNWzo

[kalocoffeee @kalocoffeeee]

a country that reversed deforestation, contributes less than 0.1% of global carbon emissions, and still suffers catastrophic consequences because of its geographical conditions and people still have the audacity to say, oh, it’s not global warming or climate change. fuck you.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

The explanation for this catastrophe seems to have been a phenomenon called a glacial avalanche. We explain the science behind it https://t.co/jRssageFSh

Glacial avalanches have always been a hazard. There is a risk, though, that they will become more so in the future, as Earth’s climate warms https://t.co/3iprirkMiO

The beautiful people of Nepal consume fewer resources than almost anyone on Earth, are known for their extraordinary generosity, and do not deserve to die from a climate crisis driven by wealthy nations that refuse to end wars or rein in their relentless overconsumption.

We have almost doubled our forest area, conserved our wildlife, are close to being carbon negative, have almost 100% renewable electricity, and are already shifting to EVs. We haven’t exploited nature like many others have. Yet every year, we are among the victims of global warming.

[Anthony Costello @globalhlthtwit]

Scientific studies report roughly 24,440 glacial lakes in the Himalaya, of which half are Supra-Glacial Lakes (lakes resting on the surface of a glacier). Nepal alone holds more than 2,000 glacial lakes. A recent study found 207 glacial lakes as very high-hazard and 345 as high-hazard. https://t.co/T29yBMXEPb

This is where the flash superflood on the Nepal-Tibet border today first began.

From an altitude of 17,000 ft on Langtang Lirung in the Himalayas, a ~2,000 ft-wide chunk of glacier ice snapped off and fell ~4,000 ft to the valley below, generating an impact 6.3% as powerful as the Hiroshima nuclear explosion and causing a Magnitude 5.2 seismic event.

Upon impact, this massive ice chunk was then pulverized into a violent 100+ ft-tall surge of glacier water, rocks, and mud that flowed into the nearby Trishuli River. Funneled by Nepal’s extremely steep and jagged terrain, the resulting flood wave became an unsurvivable wall of water and debris for the immediate communities downstream.

[Roshan Kishore @Roshanjnu]

The Himalayan river systems are the bedrock of the subcontinent being able to support so much population. But they can also inflict disasters like today's. This is why we need cross-country (China-India-Pak-Nepal-Bhutan) coordination, not water war games.

बेलायतमा फैलिएको डढेलो नियन्त्रणका लागि गोर्खा परिचालन

–बेलायत यतिखेर अत्यधिक गर्मीको लहर (हिटवेभ), खडेरी र डढेलोबाट आक्रान्त बनेको छ । प्रधानमन्त्री एण्डी बर्नह्यामले आवश्यक परे अन्यत्र थप सैनिक तैनाथ गरिने वाचा समेत गरेको बीबीसीले जनाएको छ ।
