As high-income countries, we have both the resources and the moral obligation to lead the fight against climate change. Our history of industrialization has contributed significantly to global emissions, and we must take responsibility by investing in clean energy and supporting sustainable practices. By setting ambitious targets and providing financial and technological assistance, we can pave the way for a more equitable and sustainable future for all nations.

I strongly agree that governments should subsidize carbon sequestration via widespread agricultural biochar use. This method not only helps sequester carbon but also improves soil health and agricultural productivity. It's a sustainable and effective solution to combat climate change, and we need immediate action to support its implementation.

I believe that prioritizing Silver Lining style cloud geoengineering is not the right approach to address climate change. Instead, we should focus on reducing carbon emissions, increasing renewable energy adoption, and enhancing energy efficiency. Geoengineering poses too many risks and uncertainties that could potentially lead to unintended consequences.
