Developing Nations Threaten to Keep Polluting unless They’re Paid
Yemen has promised a whopping 1 percent cut in greenhouse gas emissions as part of the global Paris climate agreement. North Korea, meanwhile, has said its pollution will double by 2030 compared with 2000 levels — but only if the rest of the world writes a sizable check. Otherwise, its emissions will rise even further. Peru says it can cut emissions by 30 percent by 2030 compared with its “business as usual” projections, though that would be a net pollution increase of 22 percent and is contingent on billions of dollars in funding. India, Iran, South Sudan, Niger, the Central African Republic, Cuba, Egypt, Paraguay and ... Read More
