UN chief: Pakistan is most impacted despite having made the fewest contributions to climate change.

Pakistan, while making a negligible contribution to the problem, is one of the nations most impacted by climate change, according to UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
During a briefing at the National Flood Response Coordination Centre (NFRCC) with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Guterres remarked, “Pakistan has had minimal contribution to climate change but [it] is one of the most drastically hit by the impacts of climate change.”
He is in the nation for two days.
Though Pakistan estimates the damages from the floods at $18 billion, the UN has made an appeal for $160 million in aid to help the country cope with the tragedy.
According to the head of the UN, those who are more to blame for causing global warming should be the ones facing obstacles since climate change has targeted the wrong people.
“The international community has a responsibility to enormously help Pakistan in this circumstance and a responsibility to take the need to significantly decrease emissions seriously, while also supporting nations that need to invest in resilience and recovery,” he added.
Officials from the Pakistan Army and federal ministers Ahsan Iqbal and Sherry Rehman were also present.
PM Shehbaz Sharif and the UN chief discuss the flood situation.
Prior to that, the head of the UN made a phone call to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad to address the situation following the devastating floods that hit the nation.
The two concentrated on working together to carry out relief, rescue, and rehabilitation operations on a global scale to lessen the suffering of the flood victims.
The UN Secretary-General came in Islamabad early this morning to draw attention to the calamity and show sympathy with Pakistan. He has also launched a global appeal to raise $160 million for flood help for Pakistan.
In response to the disastrous floods in Pakistan, Guterres tweeted: “I have arrived in Pakistan to convey my sincere solidarity with the Pakistani people.”
The UN Secretary-General and his delegation arrived at PM House earlier, and the prime minister greeted them.
Senior officials, including Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and Minister of Information Marriyum Aurangzeb, were present.
The head of the UN will visit the region’s most severely affected by the climate crisis. In addition to managing the UN’s humanitarian response activities in support of the government’s rescue and relief efforts for millions of impacted people, he will contact with displaced families on the ground.
Over 1,391 people have been murdered as a result of floods that have destroyed homes, roads, railroad lines, bridges, cattle, and crops, as well as record monsoon rainfall and glacier melt in northern highlands.
Thousands of people have been evicted from their homes as large portions of the country are under water. According to the government, almost 33 million people’s lives have been affected.
In July and August, Pakistan got 391 mm (15.4 inches) of rain, or nearly 190% more than the 30-year average.
The southern province of Sindh has seen 466% more rain than average.
