Venezuela Asserts Sovereign Right to Develop Oil Industry at COP31 Climate Talks
At the COP31 climate conference, Venezuela's Acting President Delcy Rodriguez asserted the country's sovereign right to develop its oil industry, emphasizing that economic growth and environmental protection can coexist. She highlighted Venezuela's forests as carbon absorbers but did not address the global emissions impact of its oil exports. The remarks contrast with other leaders, such as British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who advocated for a transition to clean energy amid global energy disruptions. The conference seeks agreements to advance climate change efforts.
