		</div><p>Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said his country looks forward to co-operating with Switzerland on managing the effects of climate change and receiving an advanced weather warning system from the European country.</p>
<p>Swiss foreign minister Ignazio Cassis and the head of Pakistan’s disaster management authority, Lieutenant General Inam Haider Malik, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the Nathia Gali resort, around 52 miles from Islamabad, to co-operate on ways to manage natural disaster risks.</p>
<p>The two countries announced they will “pool resources” to help strengthen Pakistan’s response to such disasters.</p>
<p>The Swiss foreign minister, who was on a three-day visit to Pakistan, said the MoU signing was a “vital step” in helping Pakistan overcome the catastrophic effects of climate change.</p>
<p>The situation in Pakistan was a “stark reminder” of the urgent need for international cooperation against climate change beyond borders, he added.</p>
<p>The South Asian nation has been grappling with the effects of climate-induced rains and floods.</p>
<p>Mr Sharif, who was present at the event, said that despite his country’s less than 1% contribution to carbon emissions, it is bearing the brunt of global climate disasters.</p>
<p>Pakistan is among the top 10 countries highly vulnerable to climate change.</p>
<p>Last summer’s flash floods killed more than 1,700 people and left millions homeless, besides incurring £23 billion in losses to the national economy.</p>
<p>The current monsoon rains which began in June have claimed the lives of 55 people, including eight children.</p>
