Making polluters pay for the climate disaster: Oxfam calls for 'systemic change'
Update: 2024-11-13
Description
Two jets of billionaire Elon Musk – who is set to join the incoming Trump administration – jointly discharged as much CO2 in just 25 days as 834 years' worth of emissions generated by the average person. That's just one of the shocking statistics in a report by the charity Oxfam ahead of the COP29 climate change summit, which is now underway in Azerbaijan. The report says the carbon emissions of the world's richest 1 percent increase hunger, poverty and deaths. In Perspective we spoke to Josie Lee, policy and advocacy lead for Oxfam Australia, who is at the summit trying to persuade governments to take action.
