Climate change is often framed as a global problem, but its most severe impacts hit developing nations that contribute the least to emissions. I've seen how droughts in sub-Saharan Africa are worsening food insecurity, while countries like the US and China continue to expand fossil fuel use. Should wealthy nations bear the primary responsibility for funding adaptation and mitigation in poorer regions, even if it means higher domestic costs? The Paris Agreement acknowledges 'common but differentiated responsibilities,' yet actual financial commitments remain far below the promised $100 billion annually. It's easy to say we're all in this together, but when the bills arrive, political leaders suddenly remember their own constituents first.
