Nepal demands $20m climate compensation after glacier flood kills 6,000

Nepal's foreign minister calls on major emitters to 'wake up' and pay $20m in climate compensation for devastating floods linked to a glacial collapse, which killed or left missing over 6,000 people. The demand marks a notable escalation in climate liability claims from a country contributing under 0.1% of global emissions, though the scientific link between the specific event and climate change remains partially established. This could set a precedent for other vulnerable states seeking compensation from developed nations.
