"The impacts of climate change are becoming more serious," Munir Akram, the ambassador and permanent representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, toldAkram, who is also the chair of the Group of 77 developing countries at the UN, wants to see the General Assembly adopt a plan to address the impacts of climate change in countries such as his.

Eddy Perez, the international climate diplomacy manager at Climate Action Network Canada, said developed countries have long backed away from the issue of financial assistance for loss and damage because it leads to questions of legal liability. Canada has promised $30 million in humanitarian aid for Pakistan, and will also match donations from individuals up to $3 million. Last year, the federal government doubled its climate finance commitment to $5.3 billion over the next five years — that's Canada's share of the climate funding of $100 billion US per year promised by developed countries.

I am sure WEF are pushing this agenda ! Globalization can never happen as we are diverse with different morals and views ! War is comming as we see more extreme terrorist groups like WEF emerging forcing ideologies that many disagree with and have infiltrated govt around 🌏

I wonder what they are going to serve at the next COP for appetizers? All the climate religious zealots will be there

Pro tip……don’t build on flood plain.

Climate? Pakistan floods are NOTHING to do with climate, the area is the “flood plains” lack of water and infrastructure, the Pakistan government is to blame NOT climate

Yes taxpayers in 'rich countries' like Canada can all pay cause their govs did little to nothing.

Climate finance lol. I see what you did there. Take advantage of a desperate country by giving loans with mega interest so they become indebted even more and lose control to the wEf.

They need some infrastructure and a lot of trees to be planted. Nature does what it wants.

“climate finance”

Floods have been happening in Pakistan before the dawn of man…this is nothing new

So we will have to pay?
