The Heated Negotiation 🔥

Climate Change is a global problem that no single country can solve. It requires 'Multilateralism'—cooperation among many nations. The UN holds annual COP (Conference of the Parties) summits where leaders negotiate targets to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

The tension lies between Developed Nations (USA, Europe), who polluted historically to get rich, and Developing Nations (India, China, Africa), who say they need to burn fossil fuels to grow their economies now. Developing nations demand 'Loss and Damage' funds—money from rich countries to pay for climate disasters happening now in poor countries.

Key terms include 'Net Zero' (balancing emissions produced and removed), 'Carbon Credits' (permits to pollute traded for funding green projects), and 'Energy Transition'. It is a mix of science, economics, and justice.
