Nepal's UN flood damage claim falls far short of costs

Original: "Analysis: Nepal’s $20m ‘loss-and-damage’ claim only covers 0.7% of flood costs" # Nepal # UN # UnitedNations https://ww

An analysis by Carbon Brief finds that Nepal's $20 million claim under the UN 'loss and damage' climate fund covers only 0.7% of the actual costs of recent flooding, implying total damages of roughly $2.9 billion. The finding highlights the large gap between climate compensation available to vulnerable countries and the scale of destruction they face.

Why now: It feeds ongoing debate about whether the new UN loss-and-damage fund is adequate for climate-hit countries.
