Cop31 host urges wealthy countries to spend ‘much more’ on climate than defence

The host of the upcoming UN climate summit, Cop31, has urged wealthy countries to allocate a larger portion of their budgets to addressing the climate crisis. This means spending more on climate action than on defence, which is currently a priority for some countries. The call for increased climate spending is significant because it highlights the growing recognition of the climate issue as a major security concern. This shift in perspective could have implications for global economic policies and trade agreements.
