The world's richest countries have not done enough to combat global warming, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Friday, adding his country had done more than any other in the world to combat rising emissions relative to its economic means.

Pakistan, this year's host of the United Nations' annual World Environment Day on June 5, is among the countries worst affected by climate change, having been regularly hit by devastating floods in recent years, displacing hundreds of thousands of people and destroying swathes of agricultural land.

This year's World Environment Day will serve as the launch of the U.N. Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, calling for urgent action to revive damaged ecosystems. The UN Environment Programme said in a report released on Friday that over the last five years Pakistan had experienced an environmental turnaround after years of decline in its natural capital, but added more needed to be done.

"To take so much money out as we did – proportionate to our GDP and available income – I think Pakistan has done more than any country in the world," he said.

Correct, but I also think to myself 'why do Pakistan, India and North Corea need nuclear weapons'?

Western propaganda conveniently and constantly never talk about co2 emissions per capita where countries like the US and Australia are like 3 times higher than china.
