UN chief asks world to give climate justice to Pakistan
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has again demanded of the world to give climate justice to Pakistan.
In his statement, the Secretary General of the United Nations said that Pakistan is on the verge of a public health disaster, now cholera, malaria and dengue fever can kill more people than floods.
He said to the western countries that emit 80% of carbon, Pakistan is suffering from a serious crisis, it is the moral responsibility of the west to help, this time it is Pakistan, tomorrow it can be any other country and other communities.
Earlier, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted a resolution on Friday, urging the world to scale up its humanitarian assistance to support rehabilitation and reconstruction in Pakistan devastated by climate-induced monsoon rains and floods.

The resolution, passed by consensus in the 193-member body, said that better access to international climate financing was important to help developing countries mitigate and adapt to climate change, particularly those that were the most vulnerable.
The Pakistan-sponsored resolution was co-sponsored by 159 countries from all regions of the world. UNGA President Csaba Korosi said that he stood with Pakistan in this critical hour of need, and urged the international community to help the flood-devastated country.
