Some people think that developed countries have a higher responsibility to combat climate change than developing countries. Others believe that all countries should have the same responsibilities towards protecting the environment. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Climate
change
is becoming a major concern among all the nations worldwide. Melting of ice glaciers and rising sea level is causing a constant threat to the whole world. While some people argue that it is the responsibility of developed countries to take some serious actions to
fight
climate
change
, there are others who believe that all countries need to participate equally. In
this
essay I will discuss both the views

Therefore

Even if they try to make their contribution, the results will only appear when all the countries show equal participation.
