Pakistan floods: The young activists

The scale of problems from what Pakistani government minister Ahsan Iqbal describes as "the worst climate-induced disaster in recent world history" will be far reaching and last for many decades. The people that will have to deal with it are today's youngest generation and they have already begun to make themselves heard.

Nineteen-year-old Rida Rashid in Islamabad, is the founder of two NGO climate charities and 11-year-old Emaan Danish Khan in Karachi, is the founder of Earth Warriorz, a free climate education service for children. They give us their insights into Pakistan's floods and why they are so passionate about their activism.
