Time for Rich Countries to Pay Their Ecological Debt

My country, Bangladesh, is a nation most at risk from climate change. Destructive flooding especially in low-lying coastal zones, more frequent violent and deadly storms fuelled by climate change, and 50 percent lower essential agricultural yields are some of the dramatic consequences of a changing climate our people face. Similarly, there are large-scale devastating droughts in Africa, local scale mercury pollution from gold mining or sulfur dioxide pollution from copper mining, and other issues in so many developing nations.
