Date: 2022-09-22

The fourth of a series, IIED releases a new film depicting how people in the least developed countries are experiencing loss and damage caused by climate change.

Climate justice campaigner from Nepal, Shreya K.C., narrates how her family and community are experiencing the reality of loss and damage from climate change. She explains how rapidly melting glaciers in the high Himalayas are forming new lakes which, when breached, cause devastating floods that can sweep away entire villages.

She adds: "World leaders must recognise the loss and damage hitting the least developed countries and take increased action by providing finance and technical support."

The short film is also available in Nepali: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpdExnNQcWg
