UN Demands $308 Billion / Year Climate Cash from Rich Nations Fund Social Benefits for the Entire World

Low-income countries … need an additional $308.5 billion a year … international support will be needed to reach this goal.

Half the world lacks social protection amid climate crisis, ILO warns

12 September 2024 Climate and Environment

Social protection is essential to safeguard people from shocks, but half the world is without any coverage, including over 90 per cent of people living in climate-vulnerable countries, according to a new report released on Thursday by the International Labour Organization (ILO).

Around 50 per cent of us do have access to at least one social protection benefit – but 3.8 billion people lack any kind of safety net, including 1.8 billion children worldwide, according to the World Social Protection Report 2024-26: Universal social protection for climate action and a just transition.

“Climate change does not recognise borders, and we cannot build a wall to keep the crisis out,” said Gilbert Houngbo, ILO Director-General. “The climate crisis affects us all and represents the single, gravest threat to social justice today.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Biden should tell them to cram their demands where the sun never shines but will probably give them twice what they demand. :im waiting:

NO! and NO!!! We already give them a sizeable portion of our GDP. We are the largest contributor to the UN in the world...now they have their hands out for more.  We need to get out of the UN!!

Biden gave them more than $18 billion in 2022. (I couldn't find the $$ for 2023). The U.S. provided more funding to the U.N. system than 185 other U.N. member states combined.
