Why this matters

Nepal's mountainous geography and aging hydropower infrastructure make it highly vulnerable to monsoon-related disasters and glacial lake outbursts. The high number of trapped workers and widespread destruction underscore systemic vulnerabilities that climate change is exacerbating. Effective international aid coordination is crucial for both immediate survival and long-term regional stability.
