What happened
The United Nations’ climate loss and damage fund committed $20 million in grant money to Nepal. This decision was made by the fund’s board, marking the first time the body has set aside money for any country. Nepal’s finance minister, Swarnim Wagle, welcomed the funding commitment. The aid is intended for reconstruction following devastating floods that occurred in August.

Why it matters
The $20 million grant is intended to assist Nepal with reconstruction following the floods. However, the amount is less than 0.5 percent of Nepal's $4.78 billion estimate for recovery. Nepal must first present a proposal for the board’s approval, and there is no firm timeline for that process.
