US EditionBill Gates calls for climate fight to shift focus from curbing emissions to reducing human suffering
Bill Gates urges global climate efforts to focus on reducing poverty and disease, citing research that economic growth could halve climate-related deaths in poor countries.
- Bill Gates released a 17-page memo Tuesday urging a strategic pivot from limiting temperature rise to fighting poverty and disease ahead of next month's United Nations climate change conference in Brazil.
- A doomsday outlook has led the climate community toward near-term emissions goals, which Gates says diverts resources from the most effective ways to improve life in poorest countries.
- Gates noted that Gavi, public-private partnership started by the Gates Foundation, will have 25% less funding for five years while vaccines can save a life for a little more than $1,000.
- Some experts welcomed the human-health emphasis, with Kristie Ebi agreeing on U.N. focus, while Jeffrey Sachs called it `pointless, vague, unhelpful and confusing`; Gates criticized foreign aid cuts as adaptation funding shrinks.
- Gates said governments should drive the difference to zero and be rigorous about measuring impacts, as scientists warn crossing the 1.5 degrees Celsius threshold may be nearly unavoidable by early 2028.
