In its additional appeal for funding of the response to the floods in Pakistan, the UN Refugee Agency, the UNHCR, noted that Pakistan was emerging as a "climate hotspot". The UNHCR is "seeking to bolster prevention and preparedness measures to avert and minimize the effects of extreme weather events."
What kind of measures do you think should be taken to limit the effects of extreme weather events in a country like Pakistan?
What assistance can Canada provide to that end?
