Description

Guest: Sahar Habib Ghazi, South Asia editor for Vice World News As Atlantic Canada deals with the fallout of Hurricane Fiona, Pakistan continues to grapple with one of the most cataclysmic floods in its history. Over 33 million people have been affected in a country that is now one-third underwater. As of Friday, more than 1,600 have been killed and millions more have been displaced. Experts say a country that contributes less than one per cent to global carbon emissions has become a case study for the worst consequences of climate change. Pakistani journalist Sahar Habib Ghazi has been on the ground covering the catastrophe, trying to find out whether Pakistan has cause and a case for climate justice. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Alexis Green and Paulo Marques. Audio sources: PBS, CNN, DW
