You can follow these stories on our website that is ever come up with more news in half an hour. The full report back to sounds great deluge is next. On counting the cost a major, you turn on tax cuts in the u. K. Is it enough to limit the financial damage and other wake up call on the cost of the Climate Change from our can here, but boeing reveals our aircraft plans to go green by 2050, counting the cost on edge. Is it a with we need to stop that met with which we are getting . They indicate that. So some fly were seeing is a water either with the world in the memo by nature. And that man was gone by a buck. A sun through the flood have crossed your mind from the menu. Unspeakable stuff with the yoke. It will be under water until you get lost or do you not down with our water with never seen climate data on this. Okay. I have simply no word to describe what ive seen. Marcussons romance with the yearly monsoon season is b into poetry culture. A 2022 so called monsoon on steroids, more water in a few days than the 30 year average. An unprecedented disaster on an unimaginable skill. It is a tough to wrap your head around, or how a monsoon can actually do this to an entire country. As far as i can see, there is an inland sea hospitals, schools, medical centers, power grids, everything has been taken over by the great deluge. Weve been heading stories from fathers who couldnt be their children because there was no dry land. Youve heard stories about children who were drinking from the same water, but theyre dead catalyse floating. I be a dear mother bonnie me a thought about it. Didnt have a job. I will tap my dog. And i thought the logic ali, a video of gig a a b b i was at the by you a i need a. 2 a w d i n a bill at a b, would you be . They did a group, i got a lots of questions raised about what did you do in the last decade since the 2010 floods . What mitigation efforts had you had you taken and why has your response been slow . The response was slow. Weve never seen. Ah, weve never seen 33000000 people effected. Weve never seen a non dribbling flood. Weve never seen a cloud bus, an interrupted for days on end for months on end. Gaddy on and on and on, and then come back again. So, well, i dont think the province of since ever taught, nor did it below just on think that they would see 5 times the amount of rain. And what is known as a Monsoon Center went through 700 percent. Is that something you can even offer, that you can even wrap your head around . Nobody had had, has even planned for such calamities. Where you are saving water during a rain season for the drought that we normally experience. Well, those, the small dams, the, even the big dams became a problem. As you can see, there was no known a method of reaching people in, in, in that, that needed to be saved. You know, search and rescue is usually done by helicopters in floods and all that here, the hell is couldnt dig off because the skies updating. And so we just, we did and we saw and heard of people losing lives. Its not, its extremely dramatic. So what is the scale of the disaster be asked, the general in charge of coordinating, the flood responds and one of the leading experts and south asia water li class was leading toward the 2 p indicators. One was about to be heat base. It will be particularly high a t, as in part of this whole region. And 2nd was about get some heavy press depletion. Basically the reason for the starter to make it on the top of that on the, to launch the even. So on one hand side we had affected from the 3rd, we started from the upper part and on the 2nd part is southern part up and job is just on the weve been fairly heated way to here dollars and that flash floating combined with that on the cloud deck has a huge drop the we have almost all of the same problems. A may portion of lusan has had huge rains and then certain portions of punjab and keeping it at but even we had 1752 millimeters of rain. This kind of rain can sink any place we have 26 districts, whichever received are in excess of 500 millimeters. And this is not spread over a month or 2 months just a matter of days. And unfortunately, due to Climate Change, what has happened and that this rain has come in those areas which are not accustomed to receiving when they receive rain. In a normal lou monsoon, 50 millimeters 70 millimeters in the entire season. This time in a matter of just week or 2 weeks, they received 10151200 millimeters of rain. That has basically overpowered our efforts. That is it. Many areas of blue to sun were disconnected for at least 2 weeks till in part of salt and from the of affected are now to in part of copy. So i think that become the by his son becomes a unique example, where you could see that when the Climate Change is that he had phenomena there, ill go, unplug the sun is not contributing in terms of the global dean, also gas emission. But there, till terms of climate polarity there to pick up the number 8 country. Major barnes and puddles in many areas are standing up from hama lake to the in this, it seems as if it is a leak. The size of the water is so huge that if this water was out there in portugal, all portugal would be under water poll. Ecuador would be an reward of the color was due to the u. S. Will be under water. The u. K. Would be under water and that you get no city, no town, without water. Everybody would be drowning in its water with 60 feet of water standing. So this is the kind of, well that we have an estimated 16000000 children are affected. They havent just lost homes and schools, but they also face disease and non attrition. As the water became stagnant in the southern since province. There are already breakouts of color, diarrhea, and other waterborne illnesses. They have no choice but to wait flood water and tens of thousands are facing painful skin conditions. The water is also breeding ground for mosquitoes. Malaria, and then a fever are also claiming lives the dilemma. Theyre surrounded by it. But there isnt any clean water to drink. So its, its, its been a horrendous experience. And the worst thing is, the discourse to the, for the worst be focused on you. So the forest people who have been rendered even more for pakistan would probably have see Life Expectancy go down. August plan will probably see in for mortality. Go up finally. Probably see dying a child, but the, you know, that number go up. So a lot of really in terms of Human Development index, you in human misery, i think it could be much worse for us. What does it mean for by son economy . There are significant loss damage to crops and since that is the balance of last 30 percent of like a thumbs, cotton, where due to 30 percent of our rice crop straight percent of the sugar being there, maybe 30 percent of our onion call 246. 00 bridges which have broken 6500 kilometers, a metal roared have been broken, and we have to repair them. So considerable amount of damage. And then obviously the effect of the economy. People will not be bright for some months. And perhaps the future. Great harvest, that would be affected. The next step is, what worries me is. You know, the cameras have left, the waters not yet subsided. How do we start, even if the water subside . Where are we going to mobilize the vast resources in a gas strapped economy to re bid this country and get peoples jobs and livelihoods back on their feet and not be further debt burdened religion and focused on the same things . You know that the grow for the whole year now those grains of washed away. So theres some shortage of reach for instance and stuff like that. So the losses, probably north of 18, but im pretty sure i think the figure between 30 and 40 probably is more correct. Reagan, im excited that has been huge lever still. Me stay but even still in. All right, but the reason why were the poor country and a lot of very poor people already living in a desperate life will have a more desperate. What people die of terse and revealed i of hunger. Would there be no food . And would they be no water in pakistan . Would they be be even bigger floods and bikes . And what are those main dangers that the people are focused on face . First is a ford insecurity due to less part of part of the, of the agriculture drop . Second is about the damages caused by the flood onto the people and then the survival and thirties about that the most likely him from the world toward the major cities. And that will be affecting all kinds of the problem in the site. Ah, it isnt the 1st time floods have ravaged like a son. This woman was lifted to safety in 2010. The drivers burst their banks and flooded major parts. Total years later, we are seeing similar themes of rescue and relief, but at a scale never seen before. In the 2010 floods, there was a lag between the water traveling from the north to the south. But this time around the rains have been relentless. In addition to the river in flood, ah, the him to push in malaise from the so called 3rd pull. The glacial ice provides water for one of the most populated parts of the world. Walketh on 7000. 00 plus known glaciers make it home to more glacial ice than anywhere on earth outside the polar regions. In 2021 be visited some of the 7000000 people who are at risk from glacial floods. Out of the 3000 or more Glacial Lakes in northern pakistan, the United Nation says 33 a dangerous already more than 600 acres of arable land have been lost to rivers. A few kilometers downstream. This is what the river looked like. Its regular glacial melt when the only men helping people in the swat river in the rapids, what about the 100 kilometer . This is the only rescue service. Most of the time had all only fine. What is that was the normal water flow. And the gushing water came, took our bridges, rhodes and holmes, everything in its pop. We visited this to recite in column, and now after the floods only the tips of these told structures are visible. That then minister for Climate Change warned about what he calls climate injustice. Spike. Hassan spends 14000000000. 00 a year on forced adaptation to its changing climate. These glitches are born just affect the 70000000 people there for the good 30000000 people to live and focus on. This is a huge challenge for august on a star one on making a started because of august on the missions i should because of what is happening around the world on Climate Change and v r. Its getting affected by this year before these floods. We also went to southern pakistan facing a drought, same country with the different impact of changing climate pattons ahead of the floods. Theres also been persistent, lack of rain, and for out to the 8 species of mangrove, no longer exists in markets, done for tens of thousands of people on the sudden coast. Fresh water is not an option. And thats force tens of thousands from their homes in the last decade. The humanity has been sent a memo by nature. And that mental is gone via buck, a son that you know, this is not going to, you know, the Global Warming goes that the quarter of the timelines we thought of and not going the going at the base report they were at the climate modeling is off everything is off as the secretary general the us, i said we waited the war against nature with burning up with our addiction to fossil fuels. And no nature is reaching a water nor the global notice. Were spending more money on mitigation, which is reducing emissions. Well, thats just not been enough to see exactly where we are. We are hurtling towards the time of armageddon, brought about by Global Warming and high emissions and its just not going down. We are too large them. Ready money, one of them money damages and i thought because me, which she gets muscle via there was one in the rain. So that actually is only a 50 percent capacity going to be really bad. So why are we have so much water right now . We might have a site thats a huge i just think unless the water has been out unless people go back to the homes, unless theres rehabilitation, what will happen . We are what it that if we do not get the we planted, we do not get the water out and get the we planted. If we dont have enough have enough seed. These very people who survive from year to year will face a very tough bank. Firstly, theyve lost everything. Theyve lost their homes, theyve lost their belongings, which had taken pine to build that loss. These people have to bear dangers 1st to warn disease. This is a major danger. The 2nd we need the intellectual communities help who overcome the disease, malaria, diarrhea, and other such diseases, waterborne diseases. We need our filtration plants to clean the water by august on might be facing prolonged rains, more floods, more drought. So what is being done to deal with this on a long term basis . Not just providing relief and rehabilitation. Think this is a climate induced calamity and you are very right. The climate is and group undergoing a huge change. The world was telling us about 4 months back that we never told this year, the rains will be 30 percent less. And we had huge forest fires in april and may come june, huge water. So its a complete change for which you cant really be prepared with the things that we have been living with this thing requires that feet change the way our denny system works. We have to improve our bernice system so that the water can go out. If we dont do that, we wont be able to do anything. Additionally, we will of also have to see how we grow our crops and we season we grow them. Well have to work on that. Then wed have to have disaster resistance to just know as a country we are working in silas and lifting the example of water security port security, and that is a guilty and then how that working within the Climate Change context. I think we need to adopt on the water and thats port ecosystem. Next is a port to overcome some of the silo approaches there because the problems are quite complex. Door company quite a complex problem. We need to adopt a system, a board and system approach will provide of the out of the box solution, essentially fields that are exactly in the same place when whether its the Water Authority not talking to others. There is a complete disconnect between the threat matrix and actions being taken on the ground. There has to be some responsibility that has to be taken by the people in power. We really are focused on the lock, but where People Living in the v as a whole tolerance. Yes, there are some settlements and they all have dogs. Yes. But in previous floods, the idea was that, you know, people should not be live close to the river. This is now, this is very different that he didnt, you know, you could be living anywhere but yes. Ready driving issues the last 1015 years more than 60 planes carrying aid have come in. There is the perception of corruption there as well. So what is happening with all of the aid that is coming in and why is that not reaching people . We are thankful were friends in different nations. We have come to our aid and help in this great calamity. But the thing is, if you send 100 plans under plans will take 1600 tons and tons to 1500 pounds at the max. But our requirement is such, just to give you an idea, almost 30000000 population is effected out of which we have almost about a 1000000 to 1000000 and a half people still living in. And in order to provide food for those people, you require almost 2 to 400 tons of food. And so the year that we have received is sufficient. 45 days, 6 days in the army, a different collection center. We have 284 Collection Centers all over pakistan. We have collected almost 8500 tons of just food. I have pushed that from the north to the south because that is where it was in the quite so you can imagine 2500 tons and 8500 tons. We are grateful for that, but we require much more just to keep. These people are fed. Thousands of people have volunteered, hundreds of non governmental organizations or providing relief. Yet millions of people desperately need aid. So i think theres a lot of sympathy, vargas on theres a lot of understanding. But intellectually, when the has its own product, the own dynamic, i think there will be more words of that but the coming in. But i think that there will be significant how has the response been, and what are you asking of the international can know . So they, they got the game and many people came in with, with a great deal of empathy. They left ringing their hands in despair at what they saw. So every single one of them, they were in shock. George dropping shock at, at the ocean, they saw underneath. And this is where, you know, this is not what we thought it was. Anyway, having said that, they were as generous as they could be, but every one has their own commitments. One of them being conflicts in the heart of europe. I dont think theyre going to make good the 3040 biggest that ive lost. But i think that, you know, there should be some measure of help whether its the Actual Agency to give greater launch of august fine, whether its model, whether its, you know, other countries that im the right, some known to vargas on take, you know, take the risk you know, and then, you know, getting charged bangs to give us loans, give us better entry grade treatment, stuff like that. Theres a lot of stuff that the western countries can do. And we did quite international firstly for the rehabilitation of the denise system. Really quite international for the station of the health and we require International Help for having station of the culture sectors. We need help in this regard so that we can keep the things moving forward. This will help our people to come back because livelihood needs to be established. If it is not established, then we are in good nature, the striking and Climate Change, supercharger and the destruction of all planets. And this is not just the question of solidarity or generosity. It is a question of justice if youre looking at it from a far distance where you have plenty of snow and water and green fields. And what is the danger . Why should people care about pakistan . With the sky, with a change and trauma sees nor borders . Is my country one day, tomorrow, its another. It is a big dest case for humanity. It is a wake up call to all the countries who forgotten about multilateralism about the rules of that global game and how humanity is to fight to just keep its feet on the ground before the planet burns up. Even if we go totally green and totally renewable tomorrow, somehow, we will still remain, are very tiny contributors. And because we have any contributions to the emissions, all the global emissions, all in one mega difference. So Global Warming will continue. Our glitches will continue to man whats the way forward the way forward is that the, the big polluters, the big emitters have to im, make restitution to the global south. And i dont mean reparations. I mean restitution which is compensation in other Financial Mechanism of loss. And damage, which should be port on the climate finance agenda. When that 100000000. 00 fund has hardly been, you know, parcelled out, valued in 1000000000. 00 have come out of it. Most of it has gone to mitigation. Adaptation is, is, is literally the hero now of fighting to save our lives from the onrushing stone. And im confident that the world will listen. It cant be it gone. Be so unjust. Hm, these waters, my proceed in a few weeks more months. But Climate Change is here to stay, and millions of pakistan is at the risk of floods and router afraid that the world will once again forget about them. Until another monsoon on steroids its ah ah ah ah ah ah a sense of belonging, walk down any street and cocktail and can feel the present spend community and the everyday heroes with keep communities to get a feel event that this good 10 point for both of my logos always logo in a new 4 part series of g 0, those into unique communities revealing how theyre adapting to 21st century challenges.
