Day 11: Roundup Discussion
The Copenhagen conference almost heads to its final day. But, emission cut offered by rich countries are far below than the expectation and even make the world remain in danger. The Guardian had revealed a confidential UN analysis that the present offer of emission cut would still upraise a global warming by an average of three degrees in which according to Nicholas Stern, Economist for British Government, will result in tens to hundreds of million more people being flooded each year due to rising sea levels. Moreover, the Science shows that it causes also to the collapse of the Amazon rainforest, crippling water shortages across South America and Australia and the near-extinction of tropical coral reefs. In spite, those are just the beginning of the world catastrophe from the climate change effects. Nicholas Sarkozy has called for all parties to jointly commit in negotiation process for mitigating to the climate change effects as he insisted the bad implications may be faced by every single person on the earth.
Further more, the developed countries request a transparency from the developing countries on the measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of emission curbs. Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State, insisted it in her talk in Copenhagen though many developing countries rejected this proposal. In addition to her talk, US will to prepare for jointly efforts with other countries in mobilising the climate fund for almost 200 billion of US dollar annually by 2020.
The present discussion of climate talks would be on two-track basis; the Kyoto Protocol and the climate change convention. In recent news on this discussion had found that the developed countries finally had given up to absolutely abandoned the Kyoto Protocol that was certainly not in favour of their interest. At this junction, the proponents of Kyoto Protocol which majority stand for developing countries won the first battle.
