Nepal Calls for Stronger Institutions and Diplomacy After Deadly Bhotekoshi Floods
Nepal's Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal emphasized the need to strengthen institutions and expand diplomatic efforts to address climate-induced disasters following the deadly Bhotekoshi floods on August 26. The floods, triggered by an ice-rock avalanche near the Nepal-Tibet border, killed over 1,400 people and left more than 6,000 missing. Khanal described the event as a "Himalayan tsunami" and called for a whole-of-government approach, scientific data use, and a broader climate agenda beyond immediate global agreements to better manage such disasters.
