ISLAMABAD (AP) The United Nations and Pakistan issued an appeal Tuesday for $160 million in emergency funding to help millions affected by record-breaking floods that have killed more than 1,150 people since mid-June.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Gutteres said Pakistans flooding, caused by weeks of unprecedented monsoon rains, were a signal to the world to step up action against climate change.

Lets stop sleepwalking toward the destruction of our planet by climate change, he said in a video message to an Islamabad ceremony launching the funding appeal. Today, its Pakistan. Tomorrow, it could be your country.
