At Paris Climate Summit, Who’s Negotiating for World’s Poor?
Instead of denying energy access to the least fortunate, UN negotiators should “recognize the vital role that energy provides to human development and the ultimate well-being of millions around the world,”
World leaders are convening in Paris for another United Nations climate summit. UN negotiators are pushing plans to restrict our most affordable and abundant energy sources, while 1.3 billion people around the world still lack access to electricity. For his part, President Obama was in Paris touting his so-called “Clean Power Plan” and other regulations, which will saddle American families, especially the poor and middle class, with higher energy bills in exchange for zero climate benefits.
