Prince Charles Has His Own Marshall Plan to Fight Global Warming

摘要

The Prince of Wales rolled out a six-step "Marshall-like plan" aimed at putting the world on better footing to fight global warming. Prince Charles has warned that the unfolding climate emergency will soon dwarf the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. On Thursday, he laid out his proposal for addressing the crisis. First, he urged national leaders and businesses to embrace carbon pricing and end "perverse" fossil fuel subsidies. He also called for the scale-up of carbon capture and storage technology, the expansion of a global carbon offset market and the creation of an ecosystems services market which would put a higher value on preserving nature. Lastly, he advocated for sustainable urban development that protects the environment.
