Klimafinanzierung treibt Entwicklungsländer in Schuldenfalle
Analyse zeigt: Industrieländer nutzen komplexe Finanzkonstrukte statt direkter Hilfen. Entwicklungsländer geraten dadurch noch tiefer in die Verschuldung.

Climate change doesn’t create these storms: it makes them worse. They intensify faster, reach higher strengths and dump more rain.
That’s why climate action isn’t just about saving the planet: it’s quite literally about saving US.
