‘Align the targets’ for poverty and climate

-

SWAPPING smoky cooking stoves with energy-efficient varieties and constructi­ng ‘green’ buildings are among the ways world leaders can meet anti-poverty and climate targets, a report says.

A group of cross-party MPs and University of Sussex researcher­s warn policies designed to hit climate targets could increase inequality ‘if not managed with care’.

Prof Joseph Alcamo said the world ‘is slipping behind on key targets to protect the climate and advance developmen­t’ but it could catch up if the strategies are aligned.
