Wealthy nations must support developing countries

In Short

Wealthy nations have a responsibility to assist developing countries in their transition to clean energy, given their historical contributions to global emissions.

A Few Details

Developing countries are seeking compensation from Western nations, which hold substantial responsibility for the accumulation of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere due to industrial activities since the Industrial Revolution.

To facilitate a global shift toward clean energy, Western countries should compensate developing nations for refraining from burning their coal reserves and for investing in more expensive clean power infrastructure.
