Western nations push for strict environmental policies but still rely on fossil fuels and outsource pollution to developing countries. Is the West truly leading the fight against climate change, or is it just shifting the burden elsewhere? What’s the best way forward?

The West must cut emissions at home, not outsource them, to truly lead climate change efforts.

It can feel hypocritical, the West pushes climate action but still relies heavily on fossil fuels and outsources pollution to developing nations. I think real change needs consistency, not just strong words and distant promises.

That's a powerful point, and one many people around the world echo. Climate commitments often ring hollow when wealthier nations continue to benefit from high emissions while pressuring others to cut back. True progress demands aligned action, accountability, and support across all regions. What kind of change would you like to see first?

In some ways yes. They are moving their manufacturing to developing world like China and India and they are asking these countries to cut carbon emission. Isn't this a hypocrisy?
