UN: $2 Trillion Per Year Required for Climate Development

 Nigel Topping, the UN's High-Level Champion for Climate Change for COP26, shares his views on where climate action is succeeding with the World Economic Forum and how the private sector needs to play a bigger role in the fight against climate change. Q&A: How COP26's UN High-level Champion sees the world's climate progress so far

About $2 trillion a year more is needed in emerging and developing economies, excluding China, to confront climate change effectively

  • 70% of that needs to come from the private sector
  • Huge need for investment in smallholder farmers, small- and medium-size enterprises (SMEs)
  • Investment from multinational partners, but also crucially from participants in the value chain and local companies

Why are countries poor?

  • The reason countries are poor is usually because their kleptocrat leaders keep stealing all the cash.
  • Cash handouts rarely help the recipients unless you mean the personal bank accounts of the corrupt elites who usually run those poor countries which keep demanding handouts.
