The global construction sector’s carbon footprint could double by 2050, warns a new @rug.nl study.
A “material revolution” toward low-carbon, circular & bio-based construction is urgently needed.

I travel, meet inspiring people, and share Nepal’s beauty
But to brand Nepal as a low-carbon tourism destination, posters aren’t enough — we must build systems, routes, and communities rooted in sustainability at home.

30% of croplands → 90% of erosion

20% linked to trade

🌍 New study in Nature Communications shows:
🔺 Global methane emissions keep rising
📦 Trade drives ~30% of emissions
🌏 Asia & Pacific = biggest contributors
💡 Methane is 80x more powerful than CO₂ → fast cuts = big climate wins

A new rurality is emerging — not nostalgic, but reinvented.
Can we move beyond urban-rural divides and embrace today’s fluid, interwoven landscapes in ways that foster care, creativity, and justice?

On April 22, 2012, I returned to Kathmandu after walking 1,555 km across 22 districts in 99 days.

What started as a trek became a platform for digital connection, low-carbon innovation & community storytelling.
