The Catastrophic Flooding in Pakistan

The catastrophic flooding in Pakistan which has covered over one third of the country and had a disastrous impact on lives and infrastructure calls for an examination of the causes and possible solutions.
We assembled a high-calibre panel to explore the causes and effects of this natural disaster with experts drawn from Pakistan and the UK. In yet another example of climate change, there is a need to draw on global skills to help vulnerable countries prepare for disasters of this kind in what seems a time of increasing events of this kind.
This webinar examines:
- Does the West have the wherewithal to quickly marshal the resources and skills needed to provide assistance?
- Was this flooding foreseeable?
- What are the immediate actions that can be taken now by donors and others?
- The role of Scotland in this case as a provider of relief funding.
