It means that rich western countries need to be the first to reduce emissions. Right now they are mainly lecturing developing countries without taking real action.

[โ€“] k_o_t@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

isn't this a false dichotomy?

not only do rich western nations need to reduce emissions, but developing nations need to correct their course as to not go through the immensely inefficient industrialization route that current rich western nations took

everyone needs to change, not just western rich countries
