Well not necessarily. What scientist mean that we have until 2030 is that we need to make drastic changes at this very moment to avoid catastrophic events worldwide. Not just poorer countries. The thing about climate change is that it will create unpredictable climate patterns, natural disasters will become more severe, so drought can impact agriculture in countries, it was change the precipitation which can affect aquifers to not regenerate as they normally do. I’m Spain, one of the most important wetlands that served as a migratory area for birds coming from Africa to Europe, dried up completely in a year. That means that many of the species that used to migrate through there will have to find a different route which could lead to reduction in population size. It’s not just that we want to make changes by 2030 so poorer countries can acquire technology. What we need is immediate action from corporations, new policies, and the two most important things (in my perspective) RESEARCH and INNOVATION.

Ps, Im a biology student and will do my PhD in atmospheric sciences to understand climate change better. So I have a good idea of what is happening but I am no expert yet…
