Wealthy nations breaking climate pledge with gas dash in global south

Study finds leading economies have funded projects related to fossil fuel, worsening global heating

Wealthy nations are breaking their climate commitments by funding a new dash for gas in the global south, according to a study.

A week before the G7 summit begins in Cornwall, the report reveals low and middle-income nations received nearly $16bn a year between 2017 and 2019 to fund projects related to gas, a fossil fuel that worsens global heating.
