The campaign statement
Our message to the world
This is what we are asking for, and why.
We are a group of citizens. We are not a political party and we are not a government. We are writing because something happened in our country that the rest of the world should know about.
On 26 August 2026, an ice and rock avalanche high in the Himalayas sent a wall of water and debris down the Bhotekoshi and the Trishuli. It took homes, roads, bridges and schools. It took people. Families are still waiting for news that may never come.
What we are not saying
We are not saying that any single country caused this flood. We are not saying that scientists have finished their work. They have not, and we will not pretend otherwise.
We are also not asking anyone to feel sorry for Nepal.
What we are saying
Nepal has contributed almost nothing to the greenhouse gases now in the atmosphere. Nepal is among the countries most exposed to what those gases are doing. Both of those things are documented, and we have listed our sources so that anyone can check them.
When a country that did not cause a problem is left to carry the cost of it alone, that is not bad luck. It is an injustice, and it is one that can be answered.
What we are asking for
Resources to adapt before disasters happen. Real support when losses cannot be adapted away. Early warning systems that give people time to move. Recognition that the Himalayas matter beyond Nepal's borders. And action from the countries with the greatest historical responsibility and the greatest capacity to act.
Why now
In 2023 the Secretary-General of the United Nations stood in Nepal and called what is happening here an appalling injustice. Three years later we are clearing silt out of what used to be a town.
We are asking whether the world was listening.
