Caritas Nepal head says climate change is a 'profound injustice' to Nepal's people

In brief

The head of Caritas Nepal described the impact of climate change on the people of Nepal as a profound injustice.

The statement follows recent deadly flash floods and mudslides in the country. During a cremation ritual on September 3, 2026, at the Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, the wife of Bishi Pandey mourned her husband. Because his body was not found, rescuers used a symbolic effigy for the ritual while search teams and dogs continued looking for him.
