Скачать или смотреть What Is Owed - International Climate Debt

While the wealthy countries of the world disproportionately caused the climate crisis, developing countries have disproportionately suffered the consequences. As a result, a debt is owed. Yet, the opposite is happening as developing countries are the ones saddled with the crushing burden of debt payments. According to a report from the IMF and World Bank, 47 developing countries will pay $400 billion dollars to service their debts in 2024. With the risk of default, these countries are not able to devote the money needed to address the climate crisis. Amid the UN Climate Change Conference in Azerbaijan, three international panelists discussed climate debt: Athena Peralta from the World Council of Churches (Switzerland), Karimi Kinoti from Edeni Platform (Kenya), and Ivonne Yanez from Acción Ecológica (Ecuador).
