Nepal's Floods Expose a Broken Funding System

Nepal's deadly floods have revealed serious problems with how climate-disaster funding works. The money is too slow, too small, and too hard to access. Experts say stronger policies are needed fast. The system is meant to help countries recover from climate disasters. But in Nepal, funds arrived late and fell short of what was needed. Many victims received no help at all. Climate disasters are becoming more common and more severe. Yet funding rules remain complex and slow. This leaves vulnerable countries waiting while damage grows. Nepal's experience shows the gap between promises and reality. Without firmer policies, experts warn, future disasters will bring the same failures — and more preventable loss.
