The Paris Conference on Climate Change is around the corner. The 4 big emitters i.e. USA, China, EU and India have all made commitments to reduce their emissions in the coming two decades or so. But, is their enough time for that?
Climate change has become a major problem in today's world. With Syria's civil war tracing its origins to continuous drought conditions, the island nations of Tuvalu and Seychelles fearing submergence; and, water wars becoming a reality in the near future, the commitments for the decade may not be enough. We need better targets and better achievements. For this, the world will need some cash! And, going by India's long standing principle of CBDR (Common But Differentiated Responsibilities), the money needs to come from the pockets of the developed world. Yet, the erstwhile failed commitments, by the developed world, of providing $100 million in the Green Climate Fund calls us to question our efforts.
The world is a fast changing place; and, man's unwarranted playing with the nature has called in the onslaught of the dreadful climate change at a much faster rate.
We must take action. Fast Action. Or else, we shall all perish with the ruins of our lost nature.
