UN Loss and Damage Fund Provisions $20 Million for Nepal Flood Recovery
The United Nations' Loss and Damage Fund has provisionally set aside approximately USD 20 million to assist Nepal following the devastating floods in August, marking the first allocation to a specific country since the fund's creation in 2022. This amount covers about 0.7% of Nepal's estimated flood losses, which range from USD 2.5 billion to 5 billion. Nepal must formally apply for the funds, which the Board will review in December. Experts note the funding is a significant step but insufficient for Nepal's full recovery needs.
