A feature examines why the international response to devastating floods in Nepal has been notably subdued, arguing that wealthy nations are reluctant to acknowledge their role in driving the climate crisis that intensified the disaster. The piece highlights the disparity between the scale of destruction in Nepal and the level of international aid and attention it has received. The analysis frames the muted reaction as part of a broader pattern in which climate-vulnerable nations bear disproportionate consequences while wealthier, higher-emitting countries avoid taking responsibility, raising questions about global equity in disaster response and climate accountability.
