Extreme poverty has nearly disappeared in Nepal, with only about half of the population remaining economically vulnerable, per Kathmandu Post.

The country's progress in reducing extreme poverty is notable, yet significant challenges remain for those just above the poverty line, according to the report.

Meanwhile, a construction boom is pushing mountain settlements into flood-prone areas, posing new risks and requiring updated urban planning strategies, as noted by Kathmandu Post.
