Nepal is particularly vulnerable to geopolitics and natural disasters. This became strikingly evident in 2015. As a landlocked country, Nepal relies on India as its main trade partner, but a four-month trade blockage created a humanitarian and economic crisis. In the same year, massive earthquakes claimed the lives of almost 9,000 people, and destroyed or damaged hundreds of thousands of houses and public buildings. Advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and achieving the SDGs requires taking concrete actions and financing them. Actions will need to be prioritized, and the need for prioritization is especially acute in countries like Nepal with significant fiscal and financial constraints and immense development needs.
