Dominican Republic stated its commitment at the UN Summit on Climate Change in Doha to cut its emissions by 25% before 2030, calling it “an ambitious goal” for a developing country. It is also the third country in Latin America to approve a carbon tax.
In a news conference held the last day of the UN Summit on Climate Change, Dominican delegation chief Omar Ramirez said his country will reduce its emissions of 3.6 tons per capita per year, with a population of 10 million, to 2.8 tons by 2030.
This is truly a remarkable step for the environment. I wonder, however, what is the other side of the coin: what is the criticism from the Dominican opposition.
