“Developed economies must contribute their fair share” in the face of the climate crisis, declares Emmanuel Macron

“The first objective is ambition, which is what a national strategy carries. We must all have national strategies that correspond to the definition of 1.5 degrees. France and more generally the European Union, the United Kingdom, are at the rendezvous of this commitment ”, estimated the French president. “Besides that, the key for the next fortnight is that the biggest emitters, whose national strategies do not comply with the 1.5 degree target, raise their ambitions. (…) Second value, solidarity. We all experienced it during the pandemic, we can only overcome these international challenges if we are coordinated (…). The poorest countries are living the first consequences of the climate crisis.(…) All developed economies must contribute their fair share; we must find all means for the richest countries to accelerate [cette aide]. “
