This year’s monsoon rains in Pakistan have caused the
most destructive floods in most people’s memories.
Some provinces have received more than five times
the average rainfall since June.
The climate change minister has called it a ‘climate-induced
a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions.
More than 1,100 people have died, and hundreds of
thousands are homeless.
Can Pakistan cope with the resulting humanitarian crisis?

Pakistan Ravaged by Floods

“Climate “: Pakistan, Contributing Less Than 1% of Global Emissions, Ravaged by Floods

***************************************
Aug 29, 2022, Pakistan declared a
national emergency as massive floods continue to
devastate the country, displacing 33 million people
and bringing the death toll to over 1,000 since June.
We speak with Shah Meer Baloch, Islamabad-based
a reporter for The Guardian, who describes how the
floods have swept away homes, roads, and bridges in
what Baloch and Pakistan’s top climate officials have
called a serious “climate catastrophe.”
We also speak with Asad Rehman, executive director
of War on Want, who says Pakistan and other poor
countries are “stuck in a toxic interplay between a
climate catastrophe that they are not responsible for,
increasing hunger, structural inequality, and a rigged
economic system.”
He calls on rich countries to reach zero net emissions
by 2030 instead of pursuing geo-engineering schemes
like carbon capture and storage — a tactic that is funded
in President Biden’s new Inflation Reduction Act.
