Responding to the unexpected and deadly rains and snowfall in Pakistan which have resulted in the death of at least 45 people, including at least 27 children, Ann Harrison, Climate Justice Advisor at Amnesty International, said: “The recent extreme weather events exemplify the acute climate vulnerability that Pakistan faces as well as the lack of preparedness for communities and populations most at risk. The unfortunate huge loss of children’s lives underscores the fact that the young are particularly in danger due to these changes.
