The Countries of the North Should Take the Lead in Making Urgent and Deep Emissions Reductions

Tom Picken, from environmental organization Friends of the Earth England, Wales and Northern Ireland (EWNI) told Real World Radio that the Northern countries must take the lead in making urgent and very deep emissions reductions domestically. In an interview with Real World Radio Picken said the models of development and growth and consumption of the North have far outstripped the Earth’s ability to deal with the waste and the climate crisis to deal with the carbon concentrations in the atmosphere.
