阿兹曼·乌斯马尼 报道 尼泊尔总理巴伦德拉·沙阿提议与邻国印度和中国建立气候联盟，敦促采取行动保护脆弱的喜马拉雅生态系统，此前该地区发生了灾难性洪水。
By Azman Usmani Nepal’s Prime Minister Balendra Shah proposed a climate alliance with neighboring India and China, urging action to protect the fragile Himalayan ecosystem after catastrophic flooding across the region.
“冰川和洪水不需要签证和护照，”沙阿在纽约联合国大会上对世界领导人表示。“作为紧迫的第一步，我们提议建立喜马拉雅气候韧性机制，由尼泊尔、印度和中国牵头，让喜马拉雅山脉成为国际合作的实验室，而不是碎片化信息的前沿。”他的呼吁是在8月26日尼中边境附近发生毁灭性洪水之后提出的，该洪水由大规模岩石和冰层崩塌引发，造成至少1400人死亡，摧毁了城镇、边境哨所和水电站。一项国际研究发现，这场灾难是由气候和地震因素的复杂交织酝酿而成的，包括创纪录的夏季高温和永久冻土融化。沙阿表示，恢复工作将耗资约占尼泊尔国内生产总值的10%。
“Glaciers and floods do not travel with stamps and passports,” Shah told world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. “As an urgent first step, we propose that we establish the Himalaya Climate Resilience Mechanism, led by Nepal, India, and China, so the Himalayas become a laboratory of international cooperation rather than a frontier of fragmented information.” His call follows devastating Aug. 26 floods near the Nepal-China border, triggered by a massive rock-and-ice collapse, which killed at least 1,400 people and wiped out towns, border posts and hydropower plants. An international study found the catastrophe was primed by a complex web of climate and seismic factors, including record summer heat and thawing permafrost. Shah said that recovery efforts would cost roughly 10% of Nepal’s gross domestic product.
他的提议旨在解决数据共享中的关键缺口，这些缺口导致前线山区社区在山洪暴发前几乎没有任何预警。根据该框架，三国将共享卫星遥测数据，联合监测高风险冰湖，并同步应急预警，以保护约20亿依赖该山脉水资源的人口。
His proposal addresses critical gaps in data-sharing that left frontline mountain communities with virtually no early warning before flash floods struck. Under the framework, the three nations would share satellite telemetry, jointly monitor high-risk glacial lakes, and synchronize emergency warnings to protect the roughly 2 billion people who rely on the mountain range for water.
跨境共享气候数据在全球已有先例。欧洲阿尔卑斯山区的八个国家共享实时监测数据以应对山地灾害，而类似的框架也覆盖了东南亚的湄公河流域和中欧的多瑙河，用于向下游社区预警即将到来的洪水。
There are global precedents for cross-border sharing of climate data. Eight nations in Europe’s Alpine region pool real-time monitoring to manage mountain hazards, while similar frameworks span Southeast Asia’s Mekong River basin and Central Europe’s Danube River to warn downstream communities of impending floods.
亚洲协会政策研究所中国气候中心主任李硕表示，中国和印度“在帮助应对这些挑战方面有着特殊的利害关系，不仅因为它们是主要的地区大国，还因为喜马拉雅山脉的气候和灾害风险具有跨境性质。”他表示，虽然两国都提供了即时救援，但“这种合作将需要通过切实可行的区域安排得以持续和扩大”，以补充全球气候机制。
China and India “have a particular stake in helping address these challenges, not only as major regional powers, but also because climate and disaster risks in the Himalayas are transboundary,” said Li Shuo, director of the China Climate Hub at the Asia Society Policy Institute. While both nations offered immediate relief, “that cooperation will need to be sustained and expanded” through practical regional arrangements that complement global climate mechanisms, he said.
沙阿还呼吁改革全球气候融资，将联合国损失与损害基金等现有机制描述为“严重不足”且过于官僚。他敦促捐助方提供直接的赠款支持，而不是会增加债务负担的贷款。
Shah also called for reforms to global climate finance, describing existing mechanisms like the UN Loss and Damage Fund as “grossly inadequate” and overly bureaucratic. He urged donors to provide direct grant-based support rather than credit that adds to debt burdens.
“当由气候驱动的灾害摧毁一个贫穷国家的基础设施时，答案不能仅仅是另一笔巨额贷款，”沙阿说。
“When a climate-driven disaster destroys infrastructure of a poor country, the answer cannot simply be another mega loan,” Shah said.
