Swachh Vayu Sarvekshan Rankings Announced; Nepal Seeks UN Climate Compensation Funds
The Swachh Vayu Sarvekshan 2026 rankings were announced on September 7, recognizing cities for air quality improvements under India's National Clean Air Programme. Separately, Nepal has requested $20 million from the UN's Loss and Damage Fund for climate compensation following floods caused by a glacial collapse. Established at COP27 in 2022, the fund aims to assist vulnerable nations but has yet to disburse any money. Nepal's request highlights challenges in the fund's operational processes and funding mechanisms.
