http://www.globaleconomicgovernance.org/blog/2009/12/making-copenhagen-count/ from the Global Economic Governance Programme at the University of Oxford Mon, 06 Dec 2010 15:39:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://www.globaleconomicgovernance.org/blog/2009/12/making-copenhagen-count/comment-page-1/#comment-6971 Kun Mon, 14 Dec 2009 06:51:36 +0000 http://www.globaleconomicgovernance.org/blog/?p=655#comment-6971 Thanks for the posting. I think the article raised several key questions that need to be addressed. I think it’s impossible for all participates to reach an agreement. It might be viable to set different standards for different groups of countries. Also, it’s important for the top 17 emitters to work on a feasible and effective plan to lower the green house emission. Additionally, it’s very important to get the business involved, which is helpful for developing green technologies and provide green jobs. Thanks for the posting.

The need to lower greenhouse gas emissions globally is highly relevant, but in my opinion, it has always appeared in a more altruistic manner. Compliance from developing countries should not be dependent on technological, financial, or other forms of support from advanced economies. They are more vulnerable to the risks of climate change, hence should be made to understand the relevance of promoting a decarbonized environment. This sort of enlightenment would increase the likelihood of third-world countries in implementing their commitments. Also, sincerity (in formulating and implementing climate policies) amongst stakeholders would strongly reduce the huge cost of climate finance.
