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
