The world faces a “dark future” if it fails to tackle climate change and inequality, IMF managing director Christine lagarde warned on Tuesday. “If we don’t address these es... We will be moving to a dark future” in 50 years, she told a major economic conference in the Saudi capital.
On climate change, lagarde said, “We will be toasted,
roasted and grilled, if the world fails to take critical decisions on the issue.”
In 2015, around 195 nations signed the Paris climate agreement which set measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to prevent temperatures rising by more than two degrees in around 50 years. lagarde also called for tackling inequality between men and women and countries that are “haves” and those that are “have nots”.
