    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the need for climate reparations to address the unequal burden of climate change on poorer nations. It emphasizes that pollution from developed countries, particularly the United States, has caused the climate crisis, while poorer countries are suffering the most. The United Nations has recognized the need for a fund for loss and damages for climate disasters, but progress has been slow. The article argues that climate reparations are necessary to right the wrongs of carbon pollution and help lower-income nations cope with the climate emergency. It highlights the scientific evidence supporting the need for these payments and the responsibility of industrial countries in addressing the consequences of their carbon emissions.
