“Why do the floods in Pakistan show the uneven balance of climate impacts on the Global South?”

Pakistan is being inundated with floods that have covered over 1/3rd of its land. Much of this is due to exacerbation by climate change. However, Pakistan has contributed to only 1% of global carbon emissions despite having a little under a third of its population.

This is Why the Floods in Pakistan Show the Uneven Balance of Climate Impacts on the Global South.
