UN Climate Fund Provisions $20 Million for Nepal Flood Recovery
The UN's climate loss and damage fund has provisionally set aside USD 20 million to assist Nepal following severe floods in August, which caused estimated losses of around USD 2.56 billion. This funding, approved by the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD), covers about 0.7% of the estimated damages. Nepal must formally apply for the funds, with the request to be reviewed in December. The FRLD, established at the 2022 climate conference, aims to support vulnerable developing countries facing climate impacts. Experts note the amount is modest compared to Nepal's rebuilding needs.
