The floods have destroyed 13 hydropower projects with a combined capacity of over 700 MW, severely impacting Nepal’s economy and energy sector. The disaster has disrupted trade routes and tourism infrastructure, causing losses estimated at $1 billion. Environmental impacts extend downstream to India, raising concerns about the resilience of infrastructure and the need for improved disaster preparedness. Nepal’s federal system and limited institutional capacity further complicate reconstruction efforts, while climate-related risks continue to threaten the region.
