Floods Left Behind an ‘Ocean of Human Suffering,’ Says Pakistan PM

Standing in front of world leaders gathered in New York, Sharif asked for international support in the slow rebuilding that will follow. He said that since countries like Pakistan have emitted less than 1% of the greenhouse gas emissions that have contributed to the planet’s rapid warming, it was “entirely reasonable” for his country to expect “some approximation of justice for this loss and damage, not to mention building back better with resilience and strength.”
