Sure.

Western countries are under pressure by their own population to fight climate change. For that they need to implemente measures that reduce their impact, which most governments would rather not do as it usually comes with some “negative consequences”. Now, if they can make the problem smaller by having other countries change their way of living instead, it’s a win for them, because problem gets smaller, pressure decreases (or more realistically increases less) and they can focus on making lines go up and getting their votes.

So I don’t think that they will have a big incentive in keeping it private. Of course private companies will, but that’s a different story.

Hopefully that made sense. It’s late here xD
