In this episode, we listen to the heart wrenching experience of several families who lost everything in 2021’s devastating Melamchi flood. The Melamchi incident shows how climate change can compound with risky floodplain development, lack of preventative measures and non-existent support post-disaster to severely upend lives of climate-displaced communities. Melamchi story is a stark reminder of what’s in store for future and offers lessons to remember in a climate changed world where disasters are set to displace millions of people in unprecedented events. Who should pay for the damages when a climate disaster strikes?
