Today’s “Word of the Day” is “free-rider” and it is a noun meaning “(figuratively) a person who somehow tries to benefit from others’ effort; bloodsucker, parasite, hanger-on”.
Example Sentence: Is it fair to apply pressure on India to raise its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) committed in the Paris Agreement? We can attempt to answer the question by comparing the achievements of other countries vis-à-vis (with regard to) India’s performance, given that climate change is a global public good and there is a free-rider problem — not much incentive for countries to contribute their fair share since they can enjoy benefits even otherwise.
