Report to be discussed at Cop30 says global agreements should target carbon intensive activities and ‘ultra high net worth individuals’
The roadmap will form the basis of discussions of climate finance at Cop30. Last year’s “conference of the parties” in Baku set a goal of £1.3tn to be provided annually to poor countries by 2035, to help them cut greenhouse gas emissions and cope with the impacts of extreme weather. But there was a bitter taste for many when rich countries pledged to stump up only $300bn of that sum, leaving the rest to come from potential new taxes and levies, the private sector, and related sources.
What?
They have modern cities, but that’s not where most live.
Their rural areas burn coal in house, which is incredibly inefficient and causing more pollution in a plant.
But the big problem is US is shipping it all the way over there and I to those rural areas, causing pollution the whole way.
We shouldn’t be mining any coal, but the least we can do is burn it here in modern plants. Were pretty much doing the worst possible course right now.
