- Living on Earth aired an interview by Paloma Beltran with Tanuja Pandey, a climate justice activist in Nepal, in the wake of the country's deadly August glacier collapse and floods.
- World Weather Attribution researchers were investigating the disaster in the weeks following the event, according to the program's description (sentence truncated in source).
Why it matters: The segment centers Nepal's deadliest glacier-collapse flood as a climate-justice question, giving a frontline Nepali activist a platform on U.S. public radio while attribution scientists examine the disaster's links to warming — a combination that ties on-the-ground advocacy directly to climate-attribution evidence.
