A New Social Contract for Global Climate Justice | Huma Yusuf | TED

- Pakistan contributes less than one percent to the global greenhouse gas emissions perpetrating climate change, yet one-third of the country was recently inundated with "biblical" floods that killed hundreds and displaced millions. If we're to move towards a sustainable future in the wake of such tragedies, the response will require more than just infrastructure repairs and a return to the status quo, says columnist Huma Yusuf. She shares a vision for global climate diplomacy where the countries responsible for pollution pay reparations for the damage they've caused, while developing countries bring forward a clean, green future. (Followed by a Q&A with TED Global Curator Bruno Giussani)

One-third of the country is under water, 33 million people effected by that, but still the Pakistan government use most of their budget to fund and support military and terrorist groups in Afghanistan and other areas ignoring the humanitarian disasters which has happened in their own country and the humanitarian disasters which they cause in other countries like Afghanistan. Instead of fighting against these sort of crisis they cause them just on their own.
Huma, our well articulated ambassador.
Thank You so Much Madam Huma.
Something that is so apparently abhorrent* YET still no remorse* no self-correction* no intent of repairing the harm done* what is there left to be said and done by the victims of these atrocities***
Very nice speech it started from global issues to the country's own fault. Very nicely presented
This is a speech 😇😇😇😇
Hear, hear!!
This is excellent speech. She is so care about our future,nature, climate, weather. Such speeches should be a lot of, something everybody could help each other.
Logically, this is an excellent presentation. Cynically.. well, anybody can fill in the cynical responses.
I agree 100%. Unfortunately some countries are are not only hesitant and even against fixing pollution problems but when they do rather then making good financial decisions in order to make positive changes they do a half ignorant job making extramy poor decisions about how to make this change that creates disparity in their own countries. I am in Canada and I support the carbon tax but what few outside people see is we have more and more displaced people, more and more people falling under the poverty line. People who have been paying attention have noticed 1000x more homeless on our streets, huge jumps in inflation all the while the luxury industries seem to be profiting and doing very well. The 1% is not suffering like the rest, at most they are barely inconvenienced. This would need to be changed with real policy changers. Don't think this is a "vote for the other guy" argument as the other guy will at best do the same thing as they have done repeatedly in the past. People worship Justin Trudeau but don't see the damage that he has done. I will not say that he hasn't made some good policies but has done more harm at the same time. A changing of the guard as it will would fix some of those problems while equally creating new ones. Its frustrating as there is no potential leadership that will make the commonsense fixes while at the same time maintain the good changes that have been done. All a person can do is decide for themselves to make changes at an individual level but it is quite difficult as resources are spread thin.
We feel for Pakistan and I support sending financial and other aid but we CAN do better.
Individual action can never offset the damage that multinational corporations generate on the environment and the worlds climate. It's a liberal fantasy that me changing my behavior will do anything of value against even just say a Amazon warehouse in my city which will produce more waste day than I could make in a year.
@@TheEvolver311 I'm not saying it will take the place but it can add to the positive change. As long as we keep looking at ourselves as individuals not as a pice of a whole there will never be progress either way.
But you are right that it will be almost unqualifiedable in the grand scheme of things. I cant speak for other countries but in Canada no party will take on "the big boys". If one even tries the others will it as an opportunity to attack that party and use less uducated citizens in crating discord over it blocking any real progress. And I will state again this would be true of any and all major parties (im not sure where you are or if you are in Canada but we have a decent number of political parties in our government that compete for leadership. The major 3 are the conservative, liberal and new democratic party but there are many more with elected seats)
How about we say that no company can claim to be carbon neutral or eco-friendly ( Whatever buzzword you wish to use ) unless they can show that what they produce is done so in an carbon nutral way at every step of the process.
I'm not just talking about that company or how they make their products or the materials used but also the companies they get their materials from, is the electricity used to make the product produced carbon neutral energy, is it transported by companies who also used carbon nutral energy.
This could apply to every company at every step from production to shipping etc.
Doing so would cause companies to not only become carbon neutral but those they deal with because a company won't choose another if it doesn't follow those rules because it would then affect them.
God i hope that makes some sense, lol!
It's not easy to explain, for me at least!, lol!
I agree and I also think a big problem is we want companies to be carbon neutrals, but we still consume. I personally start to face what seems to be the inevitable truth, we need to stop consume the excessive amounts we do. A new Tesla is still a new car with all it took to produce and build. I hope we can start more conversations on how to live a fun, meaningful life without excessive use of energy and resources.
she is the most intelligent women I have ever sww. i read her articles in dawn. she is best
I loved this video Thank you TED for delivering this good type of information and telling the major issues of Pakistan.
Social credit for everyone
Exactly. The same sheep that fell for the WuHuFlu scam are the same sheep that will fall for this scam.
You mean dystopian tyranny.
Just in time for digital dollar

We need to help ourselves. Help the others is help us.
My great grandfather used to say if the government could find a way to tax the air they would.
With the foundig you will have the risk of corruption
I HAVE INCURRED SO MUCH LOSSES TRADING ON MY OWN...I TRADE WELL ON DEMO BUT I THINK THE REAL MARKET IS MANIPULATED... CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT OR AT LEAST TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG ?
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade
I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and had brought so many investors down, you need someone with the knowledge and strategies, someone dedicated to the crypto currency market business, and I will strongly recommend expert, Mrs Karen Charles
Here in Canada Expert Mrs Karen Charles carries out the both orientation and mentorship

3:28 the logic is simple but the politics are complicated...
And yet, not a word on the elephant in the room aka the military industrial complex, biggest polluter on Earth. Omerta.
It's NOT about to stop Climate change...but to stop and change current economic system...
Is it possible for colonizers to admit *repair* what they've done* it's never been done in the history of humankind* are? They genetically predisposed to*NOT self-correct😢*
Its not a "Social Contract" when its forced on you....thats called tyranny
We need too fix zoning laws so denser housing and communities aren't illegal. That way more people can use other modes of transportation like electric bikes.
Honestly, I'm a little bit shocked of all those comments here.
First of all, I think the woman's talk was really good and interesting.
Because of this I can't really understand the position of many people here.
I have often read that money can't be given to developing countrys like Pakistan because there is so much corruption. That's partly true - the woman also mentioned. But is this really a reason not to help those people? And let them suffer? Where is the humanity? I don't say you should transfer money to the government without any control of its use. Avoiding those aids to be abused isn't that easy - but is this a reason not to help?
Secondly, many said that Western countrys also support development countrys financially. That's true. But is this enough? Are some million dollar per year compared to wasting our atmosphere for 150 years? Isn't it rather ridiculous that some years ago, development countrys were promised 100 billion dollar per year - and the western countrys haven't kept it? Recently, during COP21, this aim of 100 billion per year was confirmed again. Will it have any effect? I don't know.
In my opinion it's completely injustice that poor countrys have to pay the bill of the economic growth in the industrialized world - without having any advantage of this growth. The people in those countrys still live in poverty and now, they have to suffer even further because of our wealth.
Climate justice is due!
Thank you for reading. 😃
"Climate justice" is an oxymoron. COP21 was a sham with legal or moral power, much less scientific basis.
I mean no disrespect by this, Jonas… I genuinely don’t. I think you are shocked by the comments is because you may be living in an echo chamber.
Contrary to what you may have heard in college, social media, and from your news sources most Americans don’t believe climate change is an actual emergency.
Secondly, most Americans are not Globalists.
I hope that helps explain the comments you have read
@@phunnyfill thank you for answering. Probably you are right, I did´t consider that most of the comments are from people in the United States. Like you said, the positions of people in Europe and the USA differ a lot, especially in terms of the climate change.
Well damn Jackie, I can't control the weather! 🤷♂️
the logic is very simple, you have little power and influence and we have a lot. you are asking us for our resources in exchange for your absolution of guilt. not going to happen.
This crap never ends
Dots connected. Using the Haber system allows 10x production of food per acre of soil. Fast forward 100+ years, we've increased world population exponentially. Good for profit though, so we WON'T be hearing any solutions that suggested that we even consider slowing that train. You don't "come back" from environmental disaster by getting cash to rebuild. How does that slow the flooding? Good luck. In the meantime, move to higher ground? Idk.....but, I want a check too
It’s not newsworthy enough to stay in the headlines in the country in which it’s occurring?
What we need to do is get china and India on board. I feel like the west is talking about climate change but the east is polluting so much it doesn’t matter WHAT we do.
They are polluting so much mostly due to rich western countries demand. We definitely should help so that they use less polluting methods but that will not fix the problem.
@@carlosmoreira8835 it's also just a significantly higher population. Their emissions per Capita is much lower than the US
@@raptorjesus6398 way lower. This talking point trying to blame emerging economies for not doing enough against climate change is just disgusting and I can only think it's being pushed by global north nationalists that want to make sure they're not asked to foot the bill for so many decades of pollution. Well, Huma Yusuf made it all clear in her presentation, no need to explain really.
its them getting you to do it so they have eazy picking. you need nrg to live
@@raptorjesus6398 so what.
😂😂😂 it's what you capable of😁😂😂
No thanks

1st comment
but last in originality.
@@hughjoelcaulk7244 hehehe
The climate is changing, pollution is bad yes! Blame is wrong!! How about everyone deal with their own pollution each individual!
With great power comes great responsibilities
Global warming is not about individuals, it’s on a global scale by definition
Rich countries are the most powerful, therefore they hold the most responsibility
Also they kinda invaded developing countries for their own profit and are responsible for nearly 100% of green house emissions
It’s about the orders of magnitude
She did say it's the G20 creating the most pollution. Except the repercussions don't affect the G20 countries the most.
No individual action can offset the massive amount of pollution and environmental damage that multinational corporations generate. You are reciting the same nonsense lie American Liberals have trained themselves to believe to give themselves the cognitive dissonance they need to feel superior to the poor working class who can't afford to purchase "eco-friendly" goods while they participate in directly thr destruction of the planet in service of their employers or on behalf of their private investments.
Floods occur on Earth as long as there is water on Earth.
If you suffer from from floods - don't beg for money, build a flood-defense like Netherlands and many other countries and territories did.
Denialist is still just a denialist. Go away.
Give money to build that defence.
@@yashagrawal88 Who gave the money to Netherlands? They earned honestly, not begged
@@aleksandrkomarov9572 Colonialism is not honest earning.
Developed countries are already paying enormous amounts of money to poor countries. The idea that we should pay even more money to them because they CO2 is ludicrous.
Don't like it? Don't pollute.
Thats just not true. And the fact that developed countries are by far the worst polluters just makes it fair that they pay.
@@Dan_Cattell_Art As you type this from your device made by these same people for cheap, but when you have to pay more you complain then use that same device to type dumb comments like this. The irony. 😅😅😅
@@NerdyXRPanda [citation needed], guy who looks like he hawks crypto scams, asking people to waste energy and resources in order to damage our ecology and fellow humans and then expects to be valued for doing so.
youre selfish
Applaud 👏
The Lady has clarified that Her country don't need Aid but Reparation in the form of finance which is necessary to do even a single bit of work
And Access to Green technology to catch up the collateral damages But without Carbon emissions rise.
So she is a grifter, dumbing down everyone who believes her.
Maybe if they take a point off the four percent of gdp they spend on their military budget or cut their nuclear weapons programme they could afford that "green technology" they're so desperate for. No i don't think they're that desperate for it, either.
@@huntera123 whatever the way she adopt and One May assume
The undeniable truth is that her country collateral loss is more than $30Billion
And that is much larger for a country that do even structural changes in economic plan to seek 2 to $3 Billion from US Hegemonic IMF .
@@harshbutt Bro if they don't do that
It would be an existential threat to their survival from their hostile neighbour India 🇮🇳
And it's obvious What India is doing in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir
And cases of Kulbhushan Yadev and their Tea Loving guy!
Pakistan should ask for Reparations from the lasgest source of fossile fuel producers that are based in the middle east like Qatar, Iran and Saudi Arabia. Love to see how that conversation goes. Muslim countries should help each other, its just my opinion.
its happend before and WILL happen again ,get over it live in the highlands like our smart ansestors
