The Massive Climate Reparations Owed by Wealthy Nations.

Researchers have calculated that countries in the Global North owe $170 trillion in compensation or reparations by 2050 for their historical greenhouse gas emissions, which have disproportionately affected middle- and low-income countries. The amount is equivalent to about 7% of annual global GDP every year for the next 27 years. The study highlights the need for climate justice and financial redress to support decarbonization efforts in affected countries. The team has developed an interactive website to show their data and how they came to the conclusions.
