I study env. politics!

However, it should go beyond awareness raising and bringing more foreign assistance.

[Sharad Ghimire @sha_ghi]

Some would say it NGOization of NC; but it is rather de-NGOization of climate change and giving it more political currency. CC is a major livelihood challenge in Nepal and one of the reasons for decline in rural livelihoods and outmigration from hills, mountains and villages.

It looks like the Kathmandu Valley Public Library is going to be closed permanently.

If you can't innovate to financially support the largest public library in existence in your rich capital city, then don't tell me your new ministry of innovation is going to do any good.

महिलाले केही बोल्न हुन्न; उनीहरूले आफ्नो विचार राख्न हुन्न भन्ने सोच कति बढ्दै गएको हो यतातिर !
नयॉ सरकारका फलोअर सबै त्यस्तै हुन्छन् कि के हो ?
सभापतिको भाषणमा त निर्देशन/उपदेश राम्रै लाग्याथ्यो !

@dipak_gyawali First time I knew about him when I read his incisive critique of Homer-Dixon’s env security (on pop growth leads to violent conflict) comparing it with THED. The four-quadrant cultural theory, that you guys popularized, was very useful to understand env issues. RIP Mike.

The digital medium removes the physical presence of the "Other," leading to a loss of respect and distance. Without this, empathy decreases, making it easier for users to engage in cruel, uninhibited, and antisocial behavior. B-C Han, "Infocracy"

[Sharad Ghimire @sha_ghi]

"Digital shitstorm and aggression" Byung-Chul Han characterizes modern digital landscape as a place where communication has become violent, often culminating in "shitstorms" (digital mobbing). This is not just a side effect, but a core feature of online interaction.

An important story on child malnutrition in Bajura district. With Nepal heading to the polls in just over a month, this should be front and centre of the election campaign, but it barely figures at all.

[Sharad Ghimire @sha_ghi]

“New green colonialism” is mentioned cursorily though! Let’s expect the editor understands it.

The extreme confidence of the political class on their capacity to fool or control the public is one of the most scary developments of the last decade in South Asia.
