This episode gives an introduction to our podcast series “Taap Ko Tanab” (translating to “Heat stress”), based on our newly released book The Heat is On: Climate Change stories from Koshi Basin. The episode sets the context through short snippets from local communities witnessing change and a detailed introduction by Dr Bimal Regmi, a climate change expert and member of the National Council for Environmental Protection and Climate Change Management, on climate impacts seen in Nepal and how the country is responding to it.
