'As the scale of climate change impresses itself more and more on us, we are going to need bolder things,' Stiglitz said at the IMF and World Bank's annual meeting in Morocco.
The International Monetary Fund, or IMF, should give poorer nations $300 billion a year to respond to the climate emergency, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz said. Stiglitz outlined his recommendation in an interview with The Guardian as he attended the fund's annual meeting with the World Bank in Marrakesh, Morocco, which runs from Monday, October 9 to Sunday, October 15.
But it's impossible for less wealthy countries to make that kind of investment on their own, Stiglitz said.'Developing countries can't do it on any scale,' he told The Guardian. 'Unless developing countries and emerging markets reduce their emissions, no matter what pieties we do in the U.S. and Europe, we will get global warming. The rhetoric is about doing something about climate change and then rather than getting onboard you most need to get onboard, you alienate them.
