Yesterday I read an article in an Italian newspaper about India's pledge to reach carbon neutrality by 2070. Considering that the EU and US aim to achieve the same goal by 2050, India's commitment may seem weak. Yet, if we take a broader perspective, we can see that the problem is way more complex. India is also one of the most populated countries in the world, with a still developing economy and widespread poverty among the population. You can't just focus on CO2 without considering the big picture. Plus, in the last decades, rich countries - to lower production costs - have reduced the emission of CO2 by moving their production to countries with more relaxed laws on pollution.
