Thanks for watching the life talk to al jazeera, we ask, do you believe that women of afghanistan was somehow abandoned by the International Community . We listen, we api shoot a price for the war against terrorism as good morning money. We meet with global news makers. Im talk about the stories that matter on al jazeera is the amazon reaching the point of no return from deforestation and fires to land grabs and mining. Scientists say we may be seeing the end of the planets, largest rain forest, the effect condemning a 1000000 species to extinction, and likely irreversible acceleration of the climate crisis. That conversation is coming up. But 1st weeks after devastating floods displaced millions in pakistan. The country is still struggling with the aftermath. This week the United Nations upped its humanitarian appeal for the country from 160000000. 00 to 816000000. 00. This is not the 1st time pakistan has felt the effects of the climate crisis. So what role should the International Community play in the wake of such disasters . Earlier i sat down with pakistans minister of state foreign affairs, this weeks headliner. He know to bonnie car. Ah, in everybody car, thank you so much for joining me on up front. Over 1500 people have died as a result of catastrophic floods in pakistan, another 33000000 people have been displaced. At least one 3rd of the country is under water. Diseases are spreading rapidly, flood damage is, or its expected to exceed over 30000000000. 00. Youre here at the you, in general assembly. Can you talk to me a bit about the scope of the devastation impact . Ok, so when you look at numbers which are in tens of millions, we dehumanizing number the number of the guns, a number, and the humans a sort of leave and the number stays with us, right . So let me define, put it in perspective. This is a population, the size of all of the kingdom of saudi arabia is a population which is larger than all of malaysia. This is an area which is the same size as the whole of the united kingdom. Thats the scale of the disaster. And then on top of that, its a disaster. United be been saying it is not of our making luckily attribute will science now exist to tell us that this is a Climate Change crisis disaster. So the skin is just humongous. And just to be able to grapple with the enormity of what happened and the task ahead is something that didnt make you hopeless, but thats the challenge for leadership not to and for the people whove already shown such a great deal of i dont think the word resilient use the word veneers because it somehow means that, you know, no matter what this did, its fine, theyre living so its fine. I dont think it should be like that. And it isnt. It should not be like that. But in some ways it is because i dont think we have been enough structures in the world in the global order, in the, in the global architecture for crime, Climate Change, lead events to be able to grapple or diva. These crisis is effectively when you think about the global capacity to deal with these issues. As you pointed to some of argue the International Response has been insufficient. Un secretary general antonio terrorist said, there is a lot of attention on the war and ukraine, but people tend to forget that there is another warmed the war we are waging on nature. And nature is striking back. Many of said, look, theres been a powerful response to the war in ukraine. We saw extraordinary responses to the flooding in europe. Has it been adequate, the Global Response to pakistan . Look, were very thankful and grateful and for whatever response weve got. And i think the response has been, i mean i can, i can tell you that countries like, there you are, you, for instance, have an ear bridge countries. Victor kia, have assisted a lot, many other countries. Jain, of course, continues to assist, or the United States came in with in large numbers in terms of, you know, on the u. N. Fi shopping and sort of the you came in europe in countries. I dont really want to leave any country, but pretty much the whole world has come to help, right . But as i said now, the skill of the graces is 33000000 people, as the number of dense required is in millions. And the number of tents available is in hundreds of thousands at best. So thats the, thats the gap. How do for the gap, the world is not prepared to fill that gap and that is, and therefore a, you know, to me, this is literally a knock from whether you, you know, believe in the law as we do or mother nature, who, whatever nomenclature, use, great this is a weak up god and dime has already run out. But if he do not see this as easy grid warning off tings to come within the same season, literally march onwards because dance or forest fires, pakistan saw severe drought conditions. Pakistan saw 3 degrees then to grid. Higher temperatures are that one of the hot to summers theyd be the overhead in some areas. Far water than was ever even noted. There was glacial melting in the same area that we currently have drought, there was heavy. Oak currently have floods. There was heavy drought conditions. So if you see at this scale of all of that, you realize that this is, is serious Climate Change event. On august, the International Monetary fund approved the additional 1100000000. 00 in bailout funds to pakistan. Now, as is often the case with im if laws there are condition the condition is often austerity in this case, and fatal steady work, one or conditions of the government under prime minister, chabarise sharif has eliminated fuel and power subsidies and diesel pump. Prices have gone up by almost 60 percent of people are struggling with double digit inflation yet in august are prime minister, so that pakistan is called economically in sleeved by the iron maam. So then why take the money look and this is how it works, right. You need Macro Economic stability for the country to have a chance in order to have Macro Economic stability. You need a fun program to be able to enable under Funding Sources to, to come. This is how the financial bill will Architecture Works. You know this better than i can explain to you. Now when we have the floods in pakistan and floods of a biblical proportion. Ok. So this is an extraordinary event, not on the pakistan scale. This is an extraordinary event on the global scale. This is in the rent which was not triggered by irresponsible behavior of pakistan. This was an event which was triggered by response civil behavior for decades of industrialization, but did not happen to having mike on to or the poor. 33000000 people or ny experi on the receiving end of it. Having said that, what do you expect these 323000000 people to do to have 1st down into floods . Now down into conditionality is an extraordinary event. Like this requires extraordinary response. My fear is having seen how the structures work, that we will come in crumbs of ordinary responses. And my fear is that the people who have drowned in this floods the cranford beetle less for them. Right. And where is now you could avoid to problem by rebuilding resiliency in an adaptable, mad with adaptation as it score and give hope. But our concern is that when it comes to the hard phase of the building, resilient years, we want to, when the numbers are to the tune of 30000000000. 00, just a replacement cost. Not the rebuilding boss. Perhaps you then how far, how, how shot would be fall. And if we fall short, what would be the cost of that . It will not only be to plug a sign, it will be to everyone i did indeed. So, so theres the question of what we do if we dont receive funds, right . Thats the question that youve addressed. But theres also a question of what happens when you receive funds and you can end up in a very familiar cycle, which is that you receive, i am a funding, you get conditional as assistance and you end up trapped in a kind of cycle of, of receiving this stuff, but not necessarily improving, not necessarily developing because of all the commitment youve made in order to receive the conditional funding. I could and im not so fond of the commitments if he me, for other people sick. Im fond of commitments at the stake that he me for up on peoples sake. I think this whole a cycle of are trying to appease other peoples commitments rather than to commitments to young people is a bad cycle. And this is the real world doing their Architecture Works right . So theyll be all this been just analogies attached by different headquarters want to now creator project, which will, which will appease their conscience more than the realities on the ground in some ways. And by the time it hits the ground in pakistan, its perhaps not really according to the requirements of the people of focus on. Right. Its a typical sake of we need to come up with a model at, in, in, in the project days, mod, which is not only sellable, but it is something which builds in adaptability resilience, but is also fully in tune in line with the demand and needs of the people and not only catering to the needs of, you know, what we may consider the funding be coming from, right. Would you make of the argument that mega projects such as dams have actually worsened natural disasters . Do you worry that pakistans card investments and mega projects versus the kind of climate resilient local infrastructure approach is putting people in nature . Okay, thats interesting approach, right . Because about 10 years from today, or 12 years from today, because i wanted to start telco projects with goldman finance fund funding and financing. And we were told or we do not do cool anymore right now. So it was fine for all the developers to have done called but when it focused on wanted to exploit its own natural resources, you know, to be able to provide elect, you know, energy. And we were unable to do that with funding from the world bank. I believe that into what you have to look at is cumulative, responsibility, cumulative emissions. So if im in the matter 20 years back and i have emitted at will. And now im going to not be the price for it, but have developing countries with law. You know, capacity and low resources to pay the entire price of my emission. So i, you know, confused like you see that you guys had a conflict happens and people that started their code plans again. So we are not allowed, and they are allowed. So theres an element of unfairness in all of this. Back in 2010 of floods killed early, 2000 people. I said that they pack sons been here before 11000000 people were displaced in as well. And yet, amid us, so as the climate and water expert on pakistan said that in 2022 quote, theres just nothing in pakistan in terms of disaster resilient infrastructure and that people were literally left to fend for themselves. Now your party was in power for 3 years after the 2010 floods that critique applies to you in your party. No, no, i would like to really be able to ask her. The 2nd questions that would be required to be asked that will do called resilience and with and readiness. So for country experiences, if new york city today babysitting manhattan, the heart of the word of the developer right was to were to get for it is each 100 percent more than that typically does drone. Right . The typical couch materials which received once when fun of rain and flooding in the sun did not receiving the toy, there was still in doubt position. So we are still looking at it from a, from a, from a month from thats where this is a climate. Is there anything that could have been done, or are there any infrastructure perspective, from an infrastructure perspective, much more can be done . Absolutely. What could have been done . So then let me tell you very clearly what could have been done and what will be done as we rebuild in china. So that the thing to notice is that the typical areas which receive one soon did not receive the same amount of rain for the de, typically. So this happened in and it typically indian and non typical area. Now despite having said that, what we need to do is that wherever we build back, we have channels to make sure that the flow of water can be management better than it. Good. And we build back infrastructure in the we, for instance, some of the schools withstood rate that you build back in the way that they can survive such severity of water. And, and the fust bro do must be to ensure that the water can be channeled better. But please understand the enormity of the challenger time, 32000000 people. I will, i will share this with you. A lot of people came on the tv screens and then you go to them and said we received nothing and did not like they actually did not receive anything. How can you fit 23000000 people all at the same time when we went to the whole world and the horrible came out, opened their hearts opened this story. Just give us whatever dense they had. You know how many tents we received less than the 1000000. You know, how many people were dismissed . 32000000. So i think the globe, the global order, is ill prepared to be able to deal with what is coming of a i am not guilty. This is an android partners pharmacy is facing an economic crisis. And yet it was announced in june that the country would be increasing its Defense Budget by 11 percent. Or at the same time, it reduced the allocation for its Public SectorDevelopment Program by 19 percent. Why the government chosen to increase military spending rather than allocating those funds for the necessary infrastructure to protect people from the high mccracken . Sure, i could not say that thats rude, that you want to go at all. I think the trend had been in progress on that bridge. Military spending was actually decreasing. Now here also when it comes to real terms, i think the increase would be very, very minimal. Just to keep up with existing infrastructure. And thats why its really important, and therefore i was in the session which was on humanitarian assistance. And they kept on talking about how the my doing assistance needs are increasing. And i said that from one side we are feeding the bees to creating humanitarian assistance requirements. More because conflict is increasing economics, television is increasing. Climate change to good events or increasing reading nothing to deal with the crisis with the, with the reason with the this is for the christ, whether its Climate Change or economic starvation for crisis has been triggered by all conflict in our region. Conflict is right now being triggered in some ways because with Climate Change, we still the biggest threat to National Security at this point, right . Mean it suddenly, right in 2015, the us conducted a drill, simulating an earthquake in the indian ocean, and it was found that the sooner the ways from an earthquake could reach karachi in one and a half hours and wipe out the entire city. Again, were going to have large military, if karachi, the economic backbone and main city water, you know, to be honest, the things have changed in our region, right . I mean, since 971, we really did not have an active conflict. If you dont take a few minor conflicts, take them away. Ah, but on to years back off we had from a neighbor military jets into pakistan, years this proclaimed focus on the air space into our territory and into a territory. And then back and neutral on it was proven that the claims that the made of a, you know, going after terrorists outfits, et cetera. None existed on the cheese, existed over there. Right now when Something Like this happens, i cannot make the case with that. You dont need military spending anymore. I need we need to have jets, which are in a position to be able to fight back. So then you have confrontations, leg that you are in need. You are ensuring that our, i wish i own a desire to be able to swore will be completely from that type of spending and go into serious, you know, adaptability of forget it. Up to bolivia. Mea
