Nepal is participating in COP29, bringing their climate challenges to the global stage. But will solutions be forthcoming this time as the country's climate disasters worsen? In his latest op-ed, our Nepal program director Narayan Gyawali, PhD. says that despite its minimal contribution to global emissions, Nepal is disproportionately affected by the severe impacts of climate change. He makes the case that climate justice, financial support, and technology transfer are necessary to address Nepal’s vulnerabilities and ensuring a sustainable future for its people.

The humanitarian crisis in Lebanon continues to deteriorate as more than 1.2 million people have been displaced internally since the conflict escalated in early October. The situation has been particularly critical in Nabatieh, Bekaa, Saida, and Beirut’s suburbs, where bombardments have devastated infrastructure and livelihoods. Corus organization Lutheran World Relief has teamed up to meet immediate WASH, mental health, food security and non-food item needs with four local implementing partners — Caritas Lebanon, Michel Daher Foundation, Makhzoumi Foundation, and DPNA. See the latest sitrep to learn more about Lutheran World Relief's response to the needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Lebanon: https://lnkd.in/eH_REw3Y #Lebanon #IDPs #SitReps #HumanitarianResponse #WASH #MHPSS #FoodSecurity #NFIs [Photo credit: Development for People and Nature Association (DPNA)]

?? Meet Nadia ?? This resilient 63-year-old farmer from Derhachi, Ukraine, once again can make borscht and has enough preserved food to last through the winter. When Nadia's hometown was liberated from occupying forces, she and her neighbors required more than immediate assistance; they needed support to restore their disrupted lives. Funded by the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, Corus leveraged its early recovery expertise to launch the "Restoring Livelihoods in Agriculture in Ukraine" project and rebuild the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and displaced communities in Kharkiv. Read CDP's blog about the project to learn more about Nadia and the other 5,715 Ukrainians supported: https://bit.ly/4fkDCMa #Ukraine #FoodSecurity #Resilience #EarlyRecovery

It’s been one year since a powerful earthquake rocked western Nepal. The losses were large for this rural area: 157 people died, 339 were injured and thousands of homes were destroyed. Because of Corus organization Lutheran World Relief’s longstanding presence in the region, our staff were on the ground immediately to offer aid and support. Early response included providing 400+ families with water jars, mattresses, and tarps and bamboo poles to construct temporary shelter. In the following weeks and months, we stayed to help 175 of the most vulnerable families to construct sturdy, earthquake-resilient homes in place of those that collapsed. We also provided counseling to more than 2,000 people to help them process their grief and loss. #Nepal #earthquake #humanitarianaid #oneyearlater
