Climate Justice for Pakistan

Recourse advocates for climate justice for Pakistan, which has suffered record heatwaves and floods affecting 33 million people. The organization demands that the World Bank and IMF provide grants rather than loans for reconstruction, cancel Pakistan's debt, and support a just energy transition based on sustainable renewable energy instead of imported fossil gas.

• Pakistan has experienced severe climate-induced disasters, including a June heatwave with temperatures exceeding 50C and floods in August and September that affected 33 million people, killed over 1,000, and destroyed more than 200,000 homes.
• Despite producing less than 1% of global carbon emissions, Pakistan faces massive loss and damage, including the loss of 80% of livestock and an estimated $10 billion requirement for reconstruction, while simultaneously managing a debt crisis with $12.5 billion in repayments due in 2022.
• Recourse demands that the World Bank and IMF provide climate finance as grants rather than loans, cancel Pakistan's bilateral, private, and institutional debt, and support a just energy transition focused on local sustainable renewable energy over imported LNG.
