Special drawing rights

mardi 18 janvier 2022 à 23:49

The IMF should reallocate its "special drawing rights" to help poor countries make up for the harm done by slavery and colonialism.

I see one flaw in the article: it talks about "solutions" for the climate crisis in a way that seems shifty. Does this refer to efforts to reduce and stop global heating, which is treating the disease, or does it refer to assuaging some of the immediate symptoms for the short term? The former will help save civilization and nature; the latter will only help delay some of the damage for a few decades.

We must insist on this distinction so we can focus on the long term.
