- A tsunami-like flood was triggered by a high-altitude glacial mountain collapse along Nepal's border with China.
- Nepal's government preliminarily estimated the damage at $5 billion; more than 1,400 people died and 6,000 remain missing.
- Nepal sought the maximum $20 million from the UN Loss and Damage fund, while the United States pledged an additional $31 million.
- Shah proposed a regional mechanism with India and China for data sharing, glacial-lake monitoring and stronger early-warning systems.
Nepal cannot build resilience alone against a crisis made worse by the failure of global governance.— Balendra Shah, Prime Minister of Nepal, addressing the United Nations General Assembly to call for international support for Nepal to adapt to climate change.
