UK should contribute £20bn to UN climate fund by 2030, report says

IPPR says UK should shoulder burden due to major historical contribution to rising carbon emissions

The UK contribution to the UN's climate fund should balloon to 20bn by 2030 if it plans to pay a "fair share" to helping tackle the global climate crisis, according to new research.

A report from the IPPR thinktank says the UK should "shoulder more of the burden" of the global climate crisis because of its major contribution to the world's rising carbon emissions.
