World Development Movement and Jubilee Debt Campaign released a new report:
The climate debt crisis: Why paying our dues is essential for tackling climate change. It is at: http://www.wdm.org.uk/climatedebtreport

The report sets out the climate debt the UK owes the global south. It shows how unjust financial debts and the economic policy conditions forced on poor countries by institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and World Bank have locked in many southern countries to dirty investments that have been bad for people and the climate. It further shows how the proposals being pushed by various rich countries to tackle climate change perpetuate the unjust patterns of the past.

There is an executive summary on pages 4 and 5.

We hope you find the report useful. If you would like printed hard copies of the report, do let me know: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Best wishes,
