Climate justice dictates that vulnerable nations should not pay for a crisis they did not create, keeping per-capita emissions far below those of the developed world.

While climate finance reached $136.7 billion in 2024, two-thirds arrived as loans rather than grants, worsening debt burdens for developing economies.

This approach secures energy amid geopolitical strain, compresses the transition timeline, and supports the goal of 100 GW nuclear capacity by 2047.
