Nepal’s mountainous topography and dense river networks make it exceptionally vulnerable to monsoon-driven disasters. As global temperatures rise, extreme precipitation events are becoming more frequent, threatening livelihoods and straining limited emergency infrastructure. Understanding this pattern is crucial for regional disaster preparedness and international aid allocation.
