Submission History: Emergency motion by Bailie Hanif Raja:- "Council notes with great concern the devastating flooding in Pakistan, considered to be the worst flooding in the country's history; that this flooding is affecting 33million people; has led to outbreaks of various waterborne diseases; and that at least 1,300 people have died as a result of the flooding. Council believes that this is a humanitarian crisis which requires our support; and believes that this demonstrates the catastrophic impact that climate change is already having on some of the poorest and most vulnerable communities around the world, and notes that representatives of the Pakistani Government have made that explicit link. Council expresses its sympathy with all those whose lives have been touched by this tragedy and resolves to encourage Glaswegians to support the UK Disaster Emergency Committee's Pakistan Floods Appeal through all appropriate channels; and supports the actions of the Lord Provost in expressing the City's condolences and support to the Pakistani Consul General. Council therefore requests that Officers urgently investigate the ways in which the Council family can facilitate practical support on the ground, and support Glaswegians who also wish to support relief efforts. Council instructs that an update on this work should be submitted to the City Administration Committee on 29th September. Council further resolves to call on the UK Government to work with bilateral and multilateral partners to provide whatever support is needed to help struggling communities, and to support the Emergency Appeal issued by Pakistan and the United Nations."
