Oxfam report says super-rich profit twice from climate crisis
Original: Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis, report finds
A new Oxfam report finds the world's wealthiest people benefit twice from the climate crisis: their emissions are among the main causes of global warming, while their investments in disaster recovery and reconstruction deliver returns that widen inequality. Oxfam argues this gives the rich a financial incentive to delay climate action, and calls for sharper taxation and accountability as the costs of extreme weather mount worldwide.
Why now: The report lands amid growing debate over who should pay for climate damage as extreme weather worsens.
