To prevent the gravest human, ecological and economic toll, it is crucial to cut emissions before it’s too late. Without investing in adaptation measures that fortify nations against the impacts of climate-driven events such as hurricanes and droughts, widespread damage becomes inevitable. The greater the damage, the more it will cost countries to rebuild. Prevention is preferable to cure, but our planet is already ailing. Immediate action is crucial to halt further decline.

Not only is such funding necessary, it is possible. This has been done before: when struck with another crisis, Covid-19, advanced economies marshalled $8tn over the course of just 48 months to support their citizens and businesses. The challenge of the day was met.

Ya estoy escaldado y, además, no soy agente literario. Uno de mis particulares mandamientos me obliga -de forma inflexible- a no decir nunca, ni a los amigos ni a los enemigos, lo que pienso de sus libros. Es una barrera de salvación, una medida cautelar para evitar el riesgo de darles una opinión negativa y quedarme sin amigos...
