Social impacts:
The flood killed 1,700, devastated two million homes, and put a third of the nation underwater, displacing 8 million people from home.
At least 1,300 people were killed, and 33 million people in Pakistan have been affected. Almost 100 per cent of the district’s cotton and rice crops were destroyed. More than half its primary and secondary schools were fully or partially damaged.
Pakistan, which contributed only 0.8 per cent to the world’s emissions, now faces damages estimated at more than US$30 billion, more than 10 per cent of its GDP.
It must repair or replace two million damaged or destroyed homes, nearly 24,000 schools, nearly 1,500 health facilities and 13,000km of roads. Bridges, hotels, dams, and other structures were also swept away.
Developed nations agreed to give money to help poorer countries reduce emissions and adapt their infrastructure for future climate change, but have been slow in providing the money.
