2. Wide shot, conference room
3. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“A year has passed since apocalyptic flooding submerged a third of their country. I visited some of the affected areas that September. I will never forget the climate-related carnage I saw. Lives, homes, livelihoods, schools, hospitals – all obliterated.”
4. Wide shot, conference room
5. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“While much of the water has receded, the needs have not. More than eight million people in flood-affected areas lack access to clean water. Millions depend on humanitarian aid. And more than two million homes, 30,000 schools and 2,000 health facilities were damaged or destroyed – and reconstruction has just begun.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“Fossil fuel-based energy systems are a political decision. And those decisions must change. The science is clear; the shift to renewables is imperative. The only question is how much suffering the world – particularly the most vulnerable countries like Pakistan – will endure before emissions are cut. My Acceleration Agenda and Climate Solidarity Pact show the way forward. And COP28 must see concrete action on both.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Dennis Francis, President, General Assembly, United Nations:
“I call upon Member States and the UN system to maintain their unwavering support for Pakistan’s recovery and reconstruction endeavours. To harness the tools at our disposal to further risk-informed and people-centred action, to shield the most vulnerable, and to pave the way for a resilient and equitable future for all. And I urge Member States and stakeholders to step forward and fill the funding gaps in order to mobilise the resources needed.”

STORYLINE:
Secretary-General António Guterres today (27 Sep) asked, “how much suffering the world – particularly the most vulnerable countries like Pakistan – will endure before emissions are cut.”
Speaking at an informal briefing marking one year since the devastating floods in Pakistan, the Secretary-General said, “I visited some of the affected areas that September. I will never forget the climate-related carnage I saw. Lives, homes, livelihoods, schools, hospitals – all obliterated.”
He said, “while much of the water has receded, the needs have not. More than eight million people in flood-affected areas lack access to clean water. Millions depend on humanitarian aid. And more than two million homes, 30,000 schools and 2,000 health facilities were damaged or destroyed – and reconstruction has just begun.”
Guterres said, “fossil fuel-based energy systems are a political decision. And those decisions must change. The science is clear; the shift to renewables is imperative.”
He said, “my Acceleration Agenda and Climate Solidarity Pact show the way forward. And COP28 must see concrete action on both.”
The Secretary-General called on donors and the international financial institutions to make good on the commitments that they made at the Conference that he co-hosted back in January.
Also speaking at the meeting, the President of the General Assembly Dennis Francis called upon Member States and the UN system “to maintain their unwavering support for Pakistan’s recovery and reconstruction endeavours” and “to harness the tools at our disposal to further risk-informed and people-centred action, to shield the most vulnerable, and to pave the way for a resilient and equitable future for all.”
He also urged Member States and stakeholders “to step forward and fill the funding gaps in order to mobilise the resources needed.”
The United Nations together with the Government of Pakistan, last year launched the Floods Response Plan, seeking $816 million US dollars for immediate aid and protection. So far, that appeal is now 69 percent funded.
