Eigentlich darf der Iran kein Öl exportieren - doch abgefüllt in Kanistern gelangt der Rohstoff in Millionenwert ins Nachbarland Pakistan. Während Teheran von dem Schmuggel profitiert, können sich Pakistans Behörden kaum wehren. Von A. Kammerer.
I sure do love climate change, especially the kind that makes my city feel like a microwave oven.
I wish my folks didn't have the worst case of Stockholm Syndrome ever recorded. I wonder what it is about Karachi that makes people romanticize all the abuse? Will this convince them to move to Islamabad? Probably not—that place is too "dull," not enough phone snatchers. #pakistan#karachi#climatechange
#Heatwaves have long been known to impact children's learning. But the intensity & duration with which they strike now are leading to much greater cumulative impacts
#ClimateChange is directly causing educational gaps worth years across the world
For policy makers who care about GDP than #education, what happens to the economy when your workforce cant keep up?
This is as true in the west as in the #GlobalSouth
"As the county on Friday experienced searing temperatures, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) #Punjab issued an alert for #heatwave, #rains, and #storms expected this month."
Yup, thats THREE 'natural disasters' expected in the province this month.
Let that not distract you from the main headline - #schools will be closed because of them.
Hopefully they do it in retaliation for what the Chinese do to the Uighurs. They would then be the only Muslims who did something for their fellow Muslims in China. I’ve yet to hear the Muslim leaders around the world express outrage against the CCP’s treatment of the Uighurs in Xinjiang.
The PRC Belt and Roads Initiative is a none too clever means of endebtedness for all participating countries. China does not loose on the deals no matter how unsuccessful these might turn out. In the meantime, hosting countries face years of loans repayments. There is a wolrd map in this article showing the extent of Chinese Ownership of Chinese built port facilities. It’s sobering.
Pakistan's Gwadar port shows China's Belt and Road can fail
Well referenced article by a thinktank based in #Pakistan summarizing the mechanism for #ClimateChange derived food inflation being observed in the country.
Doesn't add anything new except the fact none of the listed issues are predictions - they are observations and cited.
#ClimateCrisis is here, and as in the Global North, farmers/gardeners can see it clearly, but the rest barely.
We are back with the second episode of our NikkahNama series! In this week's episode, we will be sharing the findings of a diagnostic study jointly published by Centre for Human Rights, Musawi, and the National Commission for Human Rights.
As usual, #IMF enforcing capitalists' debts over #Pakistan by forcing #austerity over a #ClimateCrisis stricken country, while (2 years on) promised funds by international banks remain #Greenwashing stunts.
'..why there has been a delay, Mr Ye said that the amount pledged was for reconstruction.. "..the new climate risk profile and the possibility that these areas may be flooded again,”...'
[#Pakistan's] Supreme Court has issued a landmark directive to the government, ordering the establishment of a climate change authority within 14 days. "
Editorial in Dawn - Pakistan's oldest English Daily:
"The writing is on the wall. The time for incremental steps is over. The scale of the challenge requires bold, decisive actions that reflect the urgency of the moment."
“For Pakistan, and Asia at large, building resilience is no longer a matter of choice but a necessity for survival in an era marked by unprecedented climatic upheaval. As we advance through 2024, let this be the year when we all proactively ensure that our communities are safeguarded and that the future is secure against the inevitable next storm.”
This looks so good - a Pakistani hand-drawn animated film! Made by Mano Animation Studios and director Usman Riaz, it looks like a cross between a Cartoon Saloon and a Studio Ghibli film!
