Developing Nations Risk Being Left Behind in Green Economy Transition

Developing Nations Risk Being Left Behind in Green Economy Transition

Imagine the world is building a new, clean economy, like a new kind of factory that uses green energy.

Developing countries are worried they won't get a fair chance to build and profit from this new economy.

They often provide the raw materials, like cocoa beans or special minerals, but the companies in richer countries make most of the money by turning those materials into finished products like chocolate or batteries.

The CSE think tank says this isn't fair and is like the old economy where developing countries didn't get much reward.

They believe new rules are needed so these countries can also process their own resources, make more things, and create jobs at home.

This way, everyone can help fight climate change and also build a stronger economy for themselves.
