How We End Climate Imperialism
Heyyo!! Thanks for clicking on the email and happy Friday!! I hope you’re doing well! Below you’ll find the usual three quotes and three links I found while researching this video. Enjoy!
Three Quotes:
“Despite accounting for only 15 percent of the global population and just two percent of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions, sub-Saharan African countries currently shoulder nearly 50 percent of global adaptation costs, according to the African Development Bank”
— Foreign Affairs
“Not one of [imperial core countries] has made anything like an adequate move to support ambitious decarbonization and adaptation plans in the developing world. Or even, despite lots of talk, to significantly cut fossil subsidies. In fact, as I’m sure you know, a lot of the covid recovery money has gone to the fossils.”
— Tom Athanasiou
“We estimate climate debt for G20 countries from 2019 to 2035, and find that it will rise by a staggering $57 trillion in 2035, an average increase of 85 percent of GDP”
— Center for Global Development
