Climate exchange |
Unfair share of cause and effect |
|
Ecological damages are distributed more towards poor nations
| Human activities have contributed to six major classes of ecological damages | |
| | | | |
| Climate change | | Ozone depletion | |
| | | | |
| Deforestation | | Overfishing | |
| | | | |
| Agricultural intensification | | Mangrove conversion | |
| | | | |
| The Industrialized world has imposed climate change on poor countries. Ecological damages caused by climate change in these countries is much more than their foreign debt | |
