Infographic: The Story of Climate Finance – Paying the high cost of climate chaos

Understanding The Story of Climate Finance is fundamental to understanding climate chaos, its high cost for poor countries and the role that the U.S. plays.

To help us all out, Friends of the Earth U.S. created an infographic which visualizes who is most responsible for climate change on a global scale (spoiler alert – the U.S.!); who gets hurt the most, what needs to be done, who should pay, where the money can come from and where the money should go.

As we head towards the major United Nations climate summit in Paris (Nov. 30-Dec. 11), the importance of equitably addressing the The Story of Climate Finance cannot be overstated for reaching a just and science-based global climate agreement.
