The Global North, primarily the United States and Europe, are responsible for 92% of total carbon emissions since the Industrial Revolution, leading to the climate crisis.
While the Global North has plateaued their CO2 emissions over the past 30 years, the Global South has quadrupled their annual emissions, now emitting 63% of total carbon annually.
Global South leaders like India's Narendra Modi emphasize the need for restorative justice, pointing out the historical exploitation by the Global North and its impact on the entire world.
Kenyan president William Ruto argues that the Global North should assist the Global South in financing and implementing sustainable technologies to achieve an improved quality of life with lower carbon emissions.
