Question

What arguments do low-income countries make in international discussions of global environmental clean-up

Short answer

Step-by-step solution

Introduction

Warming of the planet: Pollution causes a gradual rise in the temperature of the earth's atmosphere.

Low-income countries use fossil fuels, which pollute the environment. They couldn't readily switch to renewable energy because their installations are time-consuming and costly. Low-income countries can argue at international conferences that high-income countries exploited fossil fuels in the past and became global leaders.
