Migration can happen in times of conflict, famine, economic struggles, natural disasters etc. What of the fate of the Internally Displaced Persons, people lost inside their own countries? In flood-ravaged Pakistan, around 20 million people were affected and most of them were left homeless, losing their livelihoods and hope to restart a normal life in the near future.
The floods could potentially be an effect of climate change, having started 20 years back. Who should be paying for climate change? How can the humanity escape its effects?
The philosophical problem in international conferences is that speakers do not stop the cause of bleeding, but instead pump more blood into the sick patient. Talking about fining high CO2 emission countries and reducing carbon consumption doesn’t stop one single bit of smoke from polluting the air. It’s time that high CO2 emission countries stayed true to their word and reduced their consumption, creating a greener environment and altering the course of climate change.
