Here&#8217;s an example of how it would work: Switzerland is paying to install efficient lighting and cleaner stoves in up to five million households in Ghana; these installations would help households to stop burning wood for cooking and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But it is Switzerland, not Ghana, that will count these emissions reductions as progress towards its climate targets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"swatch-white\">These agreements raise fears that other countries will follow suit, delaying the more difficult reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in wealthier countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-normal-button tatsu-button-wrap align-block block-center  tatsu-S1EvwsXGLj   \"><a class=\"tatsu-shortcode mediumbtn tatsu-button left-icon circular   bg-animation-none  \" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/11\/07\/climate\/switzerland-emissions-ghana-peru-ukraine-georgia.html?smid=url-share\" style=\"\" aria-label=\"NY Times (EN)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NY Times (EN)<\/a><style>.tatsu-S1EvwsXGLj .tatsu-button{background-color: rgba(255,255,255,1);color: rgba(0,0,0,1) ;}.tatsu-S1EvwsXGLj .tatsu-button:hover{background-color: rgba(0,0,0,1);color: rgba(255,255,255,1) ;}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image\" ><\/div><\/div><\/div><style>.tatsu-row > .tatsu-S1WvwjQfUi.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}.tatsu-S1WvwjQfUi.tatsu-column > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-column-overlay{mix-blend-mode: none;}.tatsu-S1WvwjQfUi > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-S1WvwjQfUi > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-S1WvwjQfUi > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-left-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-S1WvwjQfUi > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-right-divider{z-index: 9999;}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-section-background-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-section-background\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-section-overlay\"><\/div><\/div><style>.tatsu-H1vwi7MIs.tatsu-section{background-color: rgba(0,0,0,1);}.tatsu-H1vwi7MIs .tatsu-section-background{background-image: url(https:\/\/lameche.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Suisse-Compensation-Carbone-Etranger-De\u0301bat.jpg);background-repeat: no-repeat;background-attachment: scroll;background-position: center center;background-size: cover;}.tatsu-H1vwi7MIs .tatsu-bg-blur{background-repeat: no-repeat;background-attachment: scroll;background-position: center center;background-size: cover;}.tatsu-H1vwi7MIs .tatsu-section-pad{padding: 90px 0% 90px 0%;}.tatsu-H1vwi7MIs > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-H1vwi7MIs > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-H1vwi7MIs .tatsu-section-overlay{background: rgba(0,0,0,0.6);mix-blend-mode: normal;}.tatsu-H1vwi7MIs .tatsu-fullscreen-wrap{align-items: center;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Switzerland pays poorer countries to reduce emissions on its behalf.
