The government and the UN have attributed the rising seas in the aftermath of the record-breaking summer heat on climate change. The challenge that Pakistan is experiencing as a result of climate change, according to Pakistan’s foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto, may be experienced by other nations as well.
Bhutto asserted that large, wealthy nations must accept responsibility for addressing climate change. Bilawal Bhutto mentioned the effects of Pakistan’s recent rainfall, claiming that a 100-km-wide lake in Sindh had affected populated regions.
