All of our climate efforts are incomplete if we aren’t playing attention to the disparity between the top emitting countries and the lower emitting countries.
So many proposals simply focus only on bringing the top emitters *just low enough* - but if our future visions include the lowest emitting countries staying low for the same reasons that keep their emissions down today, we may have unintentionally penciled inequality in to our future plans.
We’ve got to stay ambitious when it comes to living with less collateral. And we need to keep our push for a healthy planet intertwined with justice for people.
