Oped by Jarin Tasnim Mim (*) Dhaka, Sep. In Sukh-er Bati, a village tucked into Roumari upazila in Kurigram, people speak of Ukina Bano the way you'd speak of someone whose luck ran out a long time ago. Some call her unlucky. Others say God tests those He loves most. Neither explanation touches what she is actually carrying. Ukina is sixty-two.

Source: Nepali Times The question is not whether there will be more climate impacts. It is how we will finance resilience, pay for damage. At 17, while backpacking through Nepal and teaching English in remote Himalayan communities, I saw the impacts of climate change firsthand.

Activating this resource is key to fulfilling the state’s decarbonization and affordability goals. This is particularly vital as energy costs have become an everyday point of discussion for Massac

Source: Nepali Times Cryosphere loss has immediate consequences for water security, livelihoods, infrastructure, and climate justice The Himalaya is melting twice as fast as the global average, and this is accelerated by air pollution. Called black carbon, suspended particles emitted by industries, vehicle exhaust, or forest fires accelerate glacial retreat in High Asia. Dark matter makes the ice melt faster (as seen in Kapuche Lake in Kaski, pictured above). The snowline is

For the first time, mountains were anchored across several outcomes of the UN climate negotiations, including a dedicated dialogue to be held during the United Nations Fr

Sorce: Tyndall Centre Human-driven climate change made wildfires in parts of South America and Southern California many times larger and more destructive, according to an annual assessment by international experts. According to climate models, the Los Angeles wildfires in January were twice as likely and 25 times larger, in terms of burned area, in the current climate than they would have been in a world with no human-caused global warming. It also made last year’s burning in
