Kyoto protocol v/s Copenhagen

Monday, April 26, 2010 Leave a Comment

Temperatures seem to rise at the global summit in Copenhagen , there seems to be no consensus emerging to battle global warming that is threatening to ruin the eco-system of countries-rich and poor alike round the world. The evidence is mounting –from the rising water levels in Bangladesh to the melting polar ice sheets in the Arctic.

The block of developed countries attempts to lay down the climate change burden onto the shoulders of the developing countries disregarding the fact that they (West) are responsible for at least 60 % of the total CO2 emission. Yet, they have been insisting that the developing countries take on legally binding and specific obligations to reduce their carbon emission. They conveniently turn a blind eye to their own outcomes and consequences in defecting the green earth.

Under the Kyoto Protocol, which is in danger of being killed by the industrialised nation, only the industrialised countries have to undertake emissions reduction target for the second phase starting 2012. But, at the last Copenhagen submit these countries have instead tried to enforce for a deal under the so call Long Term Corporation Action according to which all countries should make commitments for the equal emission reduction as regardless of historical responsibility.

Over politics of global warming, there is always a need to explore green technologies and measures that could show low carbon development. India’s proposal for a network of climate innovation centres caught the attention of many negotiating partners in this context. A network of such innovation centres around the world would accelerate for a better tomorrow climate.
