Climate Policy & Justice: Nepal’s flood rebuilding starts with a “bridge of hope,” but experts warn the $5B-plus recovery bill is only the beginning as climate-driven glacier instability and infrastructure losses ripple through farms, power, trade and tourism. Climate Science: A new study flags dangerous feedback loops—burning fossil fuels is now being amplified by natural land and ice sources, potentially adding 20–30% more warming by century’s end. Disaster Risk: Korea faces rising landslide deaths as forecasting lags behind changing rainfall patterns, with experts urging models to include future climate scenarios. Energy & Air Quality: Minnesota regulators ordered Minnesota Power to keep probing alternatives to a new gas plant, prioritizing reliability without locking in costly fossil commitments. Nature & Carbon: Indonesia’s fires keep undermining climate goals, with hundreds of thousands of hectares burned and many hot spots tied to drained peatlands inside corporate concessions. Tech for Climate Resilience: Researchers are training AI on massive NASA data to speed up natural disaster forecasting—aiming to flag events earlier, including Nepal-style floods. Broadband for Adaptation: Nepal’s draft telecom policy targets high-quality broadband for most people within five years, aiming to support a more connected, digitally enabled response to climate shocks. AI Governance: OpenAI is reportedly considering slowing AI development amid safety alarms, as lawmakers push for stricter rules after Anthropic researchers’ warnings.
