Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has blamed the recent catastrophic floods that have devastated large parts of Nepal on climate change, saying that rising temperatures and altered rainfall patterns are making such disasters more frequent and severe. He urged the international community to step up support for adaptation measures, while calling for urgent investment in flood‑resilient infrastructure and early‑warning systems. The floods, which have already caused dozens of deaths and displaced thousands, highlight the growing vulnerability of Nepal’s mountainous regions to extreme weather events. The government’s statement comes amid a broader debate over how climate policy and disaster preparedness can be strengthened in the country.
