 I feel so proud to be from Nepal, where people live in harmony with nature. But the climate crisis is hitting my beautiful homeland, pushing us beyond our ability to cope. The Himalayan glaciers are melting and feeding the lakes that burst and sweep away entire villages. Townstream communities can lose their lives and property in an instant. Our system threat is terrifying. Our efforts to build stone walls to protect forest cover and villages can't hold back climate change. As in all the list-table of countries, most Nepali people depend on agriculture for their livelihood, which makes us extremely vulnerable to climate change, though we have done the list to cause it. My family used to farm, but no matter how hard we tried, we produced so little. It's getting warmer and new diseases are affecting crops. Like many others, we had to move to find new opportunities. Now I live in town, but here too, more intense monsoon rain causes destructive floods. Reduced harvest puts pressure on men's role in our patriarchal society. Drought has forced women to travel longer distances for fire, root and water, making them vulnerable to sexual exploitation. Many girls drop out of their school or are married off to cope with food scarcity. I'm afraid and sad that this changes the risk of society's stability. World leaders must recognize the loss and damage hitting the list-table of countries and take increased action by providing finance and technical support. The vicious cycle of loss and damage we face due to climate change must end now.
