I was moved by the generosity of people affected by the Pakistan floods toward one another.

They have opened their homes & shared what they have.

This is an example of solidarity for all countries as the impacts of the climate crisis continue to impact the most vulnerable.

[Izza Aftab @izzaaftab]

@gulraizkhan So cool! Made my day. Your blow by blow account is very enlightening. Hope your advice is heeded to. More buses! More public transit is the way to go. Loved the stained glass window! Hopefully, the walls can get mosaics - reach out to students!

Reiterated confidence in @sherryrehman she's the right person for the job! #Pakistan

گروتھ کا مطلب ترقی نہیں ہے اگر ایک اکانومی بڑھی رہی ہے تو اس کا مطلب ہرگز یہ نہیں ہے کہ اکانومی میں ترقی ہورہی ہے۔ ترقی کا تعلق آپ کی صحت، پڑھائی اور فیصلے کرنے کی صلاحیت سے تعلق رکھتی ہے اور گروتھ کا مطلب ہے آپ کے پاس پیسے زیادہ ہوں۔

🇵🇰 has suffered $18bn of economic losses from climate change in 10 years. With glaciers melting rapidly, extreme weather events are becoming more common.  That is why climate change should be an urgent global issue, at the heart of our economic, security & foreign policies 5/8

[Frank Bainimarama @JVBainimaramafj]

Let's be clear: the Pakistani people did not do this to Pakistan –– we all did, and the high-emitting nations are most responsible.

Unless we end our species' addiction to fossil fuels, every country in the world will remain in the crosshairs of the climate breakdown.

[Izza Aftab @izzaaftab]

A sigh of relief for #Pakistan This will get some much needed breathing room. I'm not a fan of IMF but resuming this program was the need of the hour & helps🇵🇰 avoid a 🇱🇰-esque situation. Now 🇵🇰 needs to see this prog through! @MiftahIsmail has been in an undesirable place!Kudos!

[Miftah Ismail @MiftahIsmail]

Alhamdolillah the IMF Board has approved the revival of our EFF program. We should now be getting the 7th & 8th tranche of $1.17 billion. I want to thank the Prime Minister @CMShehbaz for taking so many tough decisions and saving Pakistan from default. I congratulate the nation.

[Izza Aftab @izzaaftab]

@UzairYounus @rogueonomist Would love to look at the data! Please let me know if you'd be willing to share it/ let me take a look at the data.

Thanks for doing this guys!
