Well, some integrity would be a great start: don't lie to people, don't virtue signal, and address the actual problem, rather than indulging in self-promoting, empty gestures. I'd say that then they'd have the minimum to warrant some trust, if not some approval.
I mean what can Western environmental organizations do if China doesn't want to cooperate?
Now you've got it. That's the real problem. China is a Socialist dictatorship that thinks only in terms of its own immediate interests; and it's also likely to be the biggest single polluter in the future, just as it is now...only more so. You can't solve China by berating America.

Done.
Further to that, the wealthy, which is us, should assist the poor...
I totally agree.

Done.
That's just an obvious lie.
