Nepal Flood Disaster: A Himalayan glacial collapse triggered catastrophic flash floods across Nepal and China’s Tibet, killing 360+ and leaving 1,300+ missing; rescuers are still racing in cut-off areas as scientists say a glacier chunk likely temporarily dammed a river before surging downstream. Bangladesh-Regional Response: Bangladesh says it’s ready to help Nepal with relief and rescue, including using Saidpur airport as a humanitarian logistics point if needed, while Nepal’s finance ministry says it can mobilise NPR 35 billion for disaster relief with World Bank support. Climate Risk Mapping: A new open-access dataset maps 386 coastal UNESCO World Heritage sites and their climate exposure, giving managers clearer boundaries to plan for flooding and erosion. Coastal Protection Funding: Germany and Bangladesh signed MoUs worth EUR 12m for mangrove and marine protection plus energy-efficiency projects, with community-led coastal restoration in focus. Green Business Finance: Green entrepreneurs say they still face early-stage funding gaps, weak market access and limited technical support—calling for better public-private links and practical scaling help. Renewables Push: The government launched a rooftop solar initiative to enlist district-level service providers, aiming to expand local capacity and renewable uptake. Campus Safety: UGC and UN Women signed an MoU to strengthen systems against sexual and gender-based violence in universities, moving beyond just forming committees.
