Iran is a sovereign country able to set their own targets. They are members of the IPCC but deliberately chose non-participation for 15 years up to 2023. Furthermore, they had unfettered access to Chinese solar panels and wind turbines until recently. As they are the main supplier of oil for Chinese teapot refineries, trade for solar panels would have been simple.
Iran bears full responsibility for their outlier status no different than the current US regime.
Private investment almost invariably has negative returns, and even ESG ETFs are sketchy as you note.
As others have written, for positive returns, focus on capital investments in your own life. I have a solar subscription with a 10% IRR and recently replaced my pool pump with a variable speed one: $2,000 installed that saves $300/annum with an average lifespan of ten years for an 8.1% IRR.
Go solar. Replace your gas heat with a heat pump. Install on demand or electric heat pump water heaters. Swap your gas car for an electic.
Vote both at the ballot and with your wallet against MAGA policies.
That is a Ayam Cemani. They are an entirely black Indonesian chicken breed that is the most expensive to buy in the United States. Their meat is supposedly higher in protein, and also entirely black.
