 strong>ABSTRACT</strong></span></p><p>Reflecting on 2024 as the year of fir
 es and floods for the Sherpas in Khumbu\, northeastern Nepal\, this talk ex
 plores a plurality of epistemological approaches that enable the people to 
 live with climate change. The everyday act of living appears here as a desi
 red present on the cusp of a dystopian future. Through this talk\, the spea
 ker invites the audience to meditate on what it means to be <i>living </i>t
 oday. What kinds of relational technologies – application of relationships 
 for practical purposes – will be activated to live in this moment?</p><p> <
