Bloomberg Editors Call For Self-Interested Action To Fight Climate Change

BLOOMBERG VIEW: Be selfish. Fight climate change. "Countries should tackle climate change out of self-interest. They need to reduce emissions and adapt to changes already under way in order to protect their own citizens and their own economies. Reducing emissions also brings immediate public health benefits, such as better air quality. And that creates economic benefits, because clean air helps draw workers and businesses. China's efforts to reduce pollution may reflect more a desire to attract talent and investment than to improve public health, but the two are related, and the end result is the same." The Editors.
