"The fossil fuel industry is feasting on hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies and windfall profits while household budgets shrink and our planet burns," he told the Assembly.
"Today, I am calling on all developed economies to tax the windfall profits of fossil fuel companies. Those funds should be re-directed in two ways: to countries suffering loss and damage caused by the climate crisis; and to people struggling with rising food and energy prices."
Rich and poor have been at odds over who should pay for the effects of climate change that poorer countries cannot adapt to for more than a decade. Richer countries object to the idea of making "compensation" for historical carbon dioxide emissions that have increased temperatures. The team of Mr. Guterres is keen to emphasize out that the Secretary General is not discussing funding or restitution. They think the funds could be applied to realistic measures that would help suffering countries, such early warning systems.Leave a Reply
