Who Pays for Climate Change?

‍

Dear U.S. readers: This. Is. Not. About. The. Midterm. Elections.

Listen, we believe in voting and making your voice heard, especially in these crucial times. We also believe in voting in all elections, not just the big ones. But since you’ve been inundated with election content this week and every celebrity on Instagram has tried to help you find your polling place, we thought we’d do something different.

So instead we’re talking about…the Conference of Parties to the United Nations climate convention! That name rolls right off the tongue, huh?

Basically, COP27 is a weeklong conference where world leaders gather to figure out how to stop our planet from, you know, destruction. Nothing like distracting yourself from one major anxiety-inducing world event with another one! You’re welcome.

‍

‍

Here’s a roundup of the significant discussions from COP27 so far:

• Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and rising gas prices cast a shadow over the conference
• The U.S. House Republicans push natural gas and nuclear power as a climate change solution
• Developing countries, who suffer from the most climate-related disasters, demand liable wealthy countries pay for climate change
• Coca-Cola is the official sponsor of the event, which climate activists find infuriating
• Did world leaders fulfill the promises they made at last year’s convention? Not quite.
• The U.S. proposes that big businesses pay for countries to transition to renewable energy
  

Well, there ya have it! Between the elections, COP27, and Chris Evans being named the Sexiest Man Alive, it’s been a big week. On a scale from, “I could do this all day” to “I want to sleep until Christmas,” where are you at?
