2. will compensate Pakistan?
Actually, the polluting States should compensate the affected rationally, but no one is ready to compensate adequately. Even the commitment is not honoured in letter and spirit.
3. makes sure the climate funds reach actual beneficiaries?
With the passage of time, climate disasters intensify, resulting in increased investments. More investments need more effective institutional mechanisms to make it sure that climate investments reach the people and places that actually need them. For this, there is a need for strong public oversight and accountability, which at present is not in place
