Who Pays the Bill for Climate Change?
Manage episode 348645414 series 1354914
Last month at COP27, the U.N. climate change conference, a yearslong campaign ended in an agreement. The rich nations of the world — the ones primarily responsible for the emissions that have caused climate change — agreed to pay into a fund to help poorer nations that bear the brunt of its effects.
In the background, however, an even more meaningful plan was taking shape, led by the tiny island nation of Barbados.
Guest: David Gelles, a climate correspondent for The New York Times.
Background reading:
- As global warming delivers cascading weather disasters, leaders at U.N. climate talks said it’s time to radically overhaul the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
