尼泊尔环境部长盖塔·乔杜里向联合国支持的损失和损害基金申请2000万美元，以应对8月份的洪灾和山体滑坡灾害1。该次灾难造成1400多人死亡1。乔杜里在采访中强调，尼泊尔需要的不是同情，而是正义，他表示"仅有同情对我们来说是不够的，我们不需要同情，我们需要正义"1。
乔杜里指出尼泊尔的温室气体排放量仅占全球的0.1%1，却面临气候灾害的严重威胁。他认为"我们的证据表明这次灾难性事件源于气候变化"1，呼吁全球高排放国家为气候灾难承担责任。尼泊尔计划在11月召开的COP31气候大会上推动国际社会关注山区国家面临的气候挑战1，并计划改进其灾害预警系统1。
Nepal's Environment Minister Geta Chaudhuri has called on wealthy, high-emitting nations to take responsibility for climate disasters, stating that her country requires "justice" rather than sympathy in the wake of catastrophic flooding. 1 Following August floods and landslides that killed more than 1,400 people, Nepal has submitted a request for $20 million from the United Nations-backed Loss and Damage Fund to support recovery efforts. 1
"Sympathy alone will not work for us. We don't need sympathy. We need justice," Chaudhuri said. 1 She emphasized that evidence points to climate change as the underlying cause of the disaster, underscoring the disparity between Nepal's minimal contribution to global emissions and the severe climate impacts it faces. 1 Nepal accounts for only 0.1 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet bears the brunt of climate-related hazards inherent to its mountainous terrain. 1
The minister plans to use the upcoming COP31 climate conference in November to draw international attention to the particular vulnerabilities of mountain nations and to advance improvements to Nepal's early warning systems. 1
