Officials say Pakistan is expected to seek $16.3 billion in aid from the international community for reconstruction for millions of victims of last summer’s climate-induced devastation floods.
Flood victims from monsoon rain use a makeshift barge to carry hay for cattle, in Jaffarabad, a district of Pakistan's southwestern Baluchistan province, on Sept. 5, 2022. – With the United Nations at its side, Pakistan is expected to seek $16.3 billion in aid from the international community for reconstruction for millions of climate-induced flood victims next week in Geneva, officials said Thursday.
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, said the daylong conference will be based on a U.N.-supported assessment that indicates Pakistan suffered more than $30 billion in damage. The latest development comes a day after U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric announced that U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will take part in Monday's conference. He told reporters that Guterres “will call for support to strengthen the resilience of the communities in Pakistan for the future." Later, Sharif and Guterres will hold a press conference, he said.
Pakistani officials say the Islamic nation has had a negligible role in global warming but is still vulnerable to climate-induced devastation.
