British Member of Parliament Claudia Webb demanded the international community to immediately waive Pakistan's debts due to the flood situation.
Drawing attention to the flood and its devastation in Pakistan, he said in his tweet that 'inflation in Pakistan has reached the highest level of 27%, looking at the destruction caused by rain and flood in Pakistan, Pakistan's External debts should be written off immediately'.
He said that "instead Pakistan should be compensated for the climate crisis".
British MP Claudia Webb has said that Pakistan is paying the price for what it has not done, so it should be compensated.
He said that outside the polar region, Pakistan has the highest number of 7,253 glaciers and all of them are melting rapidly.
He said that Pakistan's share of global greenhouse gas emissions is less than one percent but it is among the top 10 countries affected by climate change, Pakistan is paying the price for our greed.
He wrote in his tweets that "a tragedy is becoming clear, Pakistan is responsible for one percent of global emissions but it is completely wrong that it has to bear the brunt of climate change".
Claudia Webb said that "rich countries created the climate crisis and now they must pay for it. Pakistan urgently needs international help".
He said that "Pakistan's share in global gas emissions is one percent, compared to the share of other countries in the world, the richest countries are responsible for 50 percent more of these gas emissions."
Claudia Webb further wrote that 'the silence of Western political leaders is a moral crime at a time when Pakistan is suffering from floods, it is time to stand shoulder to shoulder in full solidarity with Pakistan'.
He said that now is the time for the rich countries of the world to pay the price of the climate crisis created in countries like Pakistan, we now need a global tax on their wealth.
Claudia Webb also shared some videos of the recent floods in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on her Twitter account.
Meanwhile, according to the report of Sky News, if timely action is not taken to deal with climate change in Pakistan, the number of hot weather days will increase to 180 days in a year in the next 80 years and it will be disastrous. will lead to supply problems as well as drought and crop destruction.
Federal Minister for Climate Change, Sherry Rehman, has repeatedly pointed out that we have the largest number of glaciers outside the polar region, but instead of maintaining this great phenomenon of nature, we are seeing them melting. .
According to the Global Climate Risk Index published by the non-profit group German Watch, Pakistan is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to the effects of climate change over the past two decades.
Scientists have not yet determined what role climate change plays in the floods, but it is clear that Pakistan is at risk from increased warming, not just floods, but heat, drought and rising temperatures. Its symptoms are clear.
