Nepal Needs $5B to Rebuild But Climate Fund Offers a Fraction of That

Nepal requires approximately $5 billion to rebuild from climate-related destruction, but the global climate fund falls drastically short of meeting that need. The fund currently caps its support at $20 million per project, which is just one two-hundredth of what Nepal requires. This means the available funding covers less than 10% of Nepal's total rebuilding costs. Adding to the urgency, the fund's governing board is not scheduled to convene until December, further delaying any potential financial relief for the country.
