The responsibility to reduce carbon emissions and take other steps to slow climate change should fall primarily on wealthy countries.
Agree

Wealthy countries + big corporations make up the bulk of carbon emissions so it's obvious that they should. But i do think that if you have the ability to, individuals should also do what they can to be environmentally conscious, such as riding a bike instead of driving, buying food from the farmer's market, etc.

They have the resources to reduce emissions and build new technology. Also they are the most detrimental to the environment.

Most pollution is done in developing countries (including China and India) due to the inefficient use of energy or chopping down the rainforest (e.g., Brazil, Indonesia). So developing countries have a huge role to play to combat climate change. However, wealthy countries should also (partially) foot the bill
