Countries of Africa and Latin America warn that “climate colonialism is being imposed on them,” Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted at the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia on Monday, reported Sputnik.
“Many of these representatives [from African countries and Latin America] say that the West is now promoting the idea of so-called ‘climate colonialism.’ That is, imposing such technologies on these countries, expensive technologies [in the field of reducing greenhouse gas emissions], which they cannot afford, without helping them. It also includes imposing some things that aren’t particularly necessary for implementation of these technologies,” Putin said to a select group of students and others on the sidelines of the congress.
