COP29 Global north owes $5tn a year climate debt to global south
Jump to: Newest in thread
COP29 underway.
“We are asking for the down payment of a very large debt – a down payment of $5tn [a year],” said Tasneem Essop, executive director of Climate Action Network, global alliance of more than 1900 civil society organisations in over 130 countries.
The argument is simple: rich nations prospered by burning fossil fuels and now need to fund poorer nations to avoid the same path, and cope with the severe heatwaves, floods and storms fuelled by global heating and already here.
How does Miliband and Reeves suggest UK pays its share, having cancelled the pre election pledge of £28bn annual green tech investment |

Lots of sl*very reparations to come too.
Hopefully the cancellation of the winter fuel payments will cover it. |

The global south has had thousands of years of better weather than us up north. Now it's getting warmer for us they are getting jealous.
Make the most of it because in less than 20 years you will all be underwater. Will this result in more boat people (literally)? |

Maybe canal barges would be a good option when next moving home. |

"Starmer may as well have “sucker” tattooed on his forehead.
All the grifters are out in force. They can smell the weakness a mile off."
Why do you think China, Russia, India and USA don't turn up ? They know the game. |
