REACHING THE GOAL

The 19th Conference of the Parties meeting of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change shows us the participation of 192 countries, involved in the task of the reduction of greenhouse gases and CO2 emissions. They want to give a solution to the problem of the climate change. A new report has demonstrated us that global warming is 95% for human´s activities fault, but developed countries want desperately to avoid taking the blame for the impacts of the climate change. Before too many hours of hard negotiations, parties reached some kind of conclusion, but everything in general points and waiting for the next meeting in Paris 2015.

In the final press release, they avoid the word “compromise” in the reduction of greenhouse gases emissions, using moreover, the word “contributions”; in sentences like this one “governments provided more clarity on mobilizing finance to support developing country actions to curb emissions and adapt to climate change”. And these do not like to all the countries, but those who are developing, as India and China, are very pleaceful.

 

Another important point of the COP19 was the “Further progress in help for developing nations”. In which developed countries (including Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland) will pay 100 million dollars per year for the Adaptation Found. They will start founding national projects to better assess the impacts of climate changes and to get “what they need in the way of support to become more resilient”. The idea to deal with loss and damage for the climate change is helping poorer countries and transfer them some sort of technology. As I read in an article this is the “third leg” of the United Nations. The first and second ones are mitigation (when countries cut emissions) and adaptation (advance preparation of climate change). The theory sounds really good, but is time for the action.

 

This was not the main idea of the COP19, but this minimum agreement is the first step to reach the real target in the fight against the climate change. In my opinion, countries try to get involved as they can in the economic growth and environmental protection, but everyone look for their own interest and everything goes around money. And that is the problem of no finding any solution.
