A joint editorial published by the Guardian and more than 30 partners calls for rich countries to pay their fair share towards solving the climate crisis
Good morning and welcome to the Guardian’s coverage of Tuesday at the Cop27 climate conference, which is themed around energy.
Overnight, the Guardian and more than 30 partners published a joint editorial calling for climate justice and urging rich countries to fulfil their moral obligation to provide adequate funding to fight climate breakdown.
Rich countries account for just one in eight people in the world today but are responsible for half of greenhouse gases. These nations have a clear moral responsibility to help. Developing nations should be given enough cash to address the dangerous conditions they did little to create – especially as a global recession looms.
